Double PHP URL query GET

Question

Basically my question is:

mysite.php?searchword=vinegar?page=2

In the above url is it possible to GET both the search value (which here is vinegar) and the page value (here 2) with PHP code?

It comes from searching a large mysql table for the word vinegar, and then paginating the results. If this is not how possible, please could you suggest a way to do this

Thanks

What problem are you having? Your query string parameters should easily be accessible via $_GET['searchword'] and $_GET['page']. — j08691

@Lan Try use search before posting questions like that, these answer are easy to find -j08691 not via this syntax. — Charles Forest

The question mark in a URL denotes the beginning of the query string. Your URL may contain only one query string. Within the query string, multiple key=value pairs are separated by an ampersand, &:

mysite.php?searchword=vinegar&page=2

PHP makes the contents of your query string available via the super-global associative array $_GET:

$_GET['searchword']; # "vinegar"
$_GET['page']; # "2"

You should use

mysite.php?searchword=vinegar&page=2

and in php

$search = $_GET['searchword'];
$page = $_GET['page'];

silly Over a year ago

Or get it with $_REQUEST['page']` if You post the values

@silly Actually you should use $_POST['page'] if you post the values, but this is completely irrelevant as we're specifically talking about how to build the query string.

No because the syntax is wrong. URL parameters should be in the format:

mysite.php?searchword=vinegar&page=2

And then you use $_GET['chword'] and $_GET['page'] to retrieve them in PHP

There should only be 1 question mark after the .php. The URL should be written like this: mysite.php?searchword=vinegar&page=2, then PHP will get both the searchword and page value.
