Question

Im am very new to PHP (although i am programmed in object-c programming for iOS and this is why i need this).
I need to get the username and password out of a post url and into variables for example this:
http://url.com/phpFile.php?username=TheUsernameToGetOut&password=ThePasswordToGetOut
Many Thanks

You can find the parameters sent in the url (Get parameters) through the super global array $_GET. example:

$username = $_GET['username'];
$password = $_GET['password'];

$_GET from php manual

If the parameters were sent instead via a post (posting a form) then they will be available through the $_POST super global array. example:

$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];

$_POST from php manual
