Question

passing data between pages in php have ways like $_GET, $_POST, $_REQUEST etc. But if we are to send data without any variable in php, there is a way which I seem to have forgotten.

For example , let a sample url be : http://www.mysite.com?123

Is it possible to catch the value 123 from the corresponding php page ?

any use of $_SERVER here?

Answer 1

You can get it using:

$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]

This url: www.mysite.com?123 will provide 123 into $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"].

But be careful, if your url is likewww.mysite.com?123&re=789, $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] will be 123&re=789. It catch every thingg after the ?.
