[php] php REQUEST_URI

Since vars passed through url are $_GET vars, you can use filter_input() function:

$id = filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'id', FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT);
$othervar = filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'othervar', FILTER_SANITIZE_FULL_SPECIAL_CHARS);

It would store the values of each var and sanitize/validate them too.
