PHP get 2 url parameters

Question

i'm trying to get 2 url parameters using this code:

$page = htmlspecialchars($_GET["page"]);
$category = htmlspecialchars($_GET["category"]);

and the result i get looks like this:

leaderboard?category=any%

and the url looks like this:

?page=leaderboard?category=any%

How do i get both results now?

Cheers, Chris.

Did you try use parse_url function? php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php — juanbits

Could you explain a little bit better? And first of all when you pass the parameters through GET you should be doing like this: ?page=leaderboard&category=any — Osakr

htmlspecialchars is not for URLs. How are you using the variables you defined? — user3783243

try this (&) instead of this (?) . Example below

?page=leaderboard&category=any%

The first query string (URL Parameter) always starts with question mark (?) sign and rest of them with ampersand (&) sign so the URL should be

?page=leaderboard&category=any%&anythingelse=value
