Accepting data from URL Parameters

[Jared Steckel]

I appologize for what may be a newbie-like request, but I have not been
able to find this information in the PHP documentation.

If I were to have a link on an HTML page such as the following:

[url]http://www.foo.com/myscripts/myscript.php?Value1=value&Value2=value[/url]

How can I retrieve those values in the script? Should I construct the
link differently? Is there a completely different method I'm missing
altogether?

Thanks so much in advance for any help you could provide!

try this:
<?php
echo 'Value1 = '.$_GET['Value1'];
echo "<br>\n";
echo 'Value2 = '.$_GET['Value2'];
?>

Each of those values will be available as $_GET{'Value1'} $_GET{'Value2'}
etcetera. Note that the variable names are case sensitive.
