Get URL query string parameters

Question

What is the  less code needed  way to get parameters from a URL query string which is formatted like the following      www mysite com category subcategory myqueryhash   Output should be  myqueryhash  I am aware of this approach   www mysite com category subcategory q myquery   lt  php    echo   GET  q       Output  myquery   gt

The PHP way to do it is using the function parse_url, which parses a URL and return its components. Including the query string.

Example:

$url = 'www.mysite.com/category/subcategory?myqueryhash';
echo parse_url($url, PHP_URL_QUERY); # output "myqueryhash"

For getting each node in the URI  you can use function explode   to   SERVER  REQUEST URI     If you want to get strings without knowing if it is passed or not  you may use the function I defined myself to get query parameters from   REQUEST  as it works both for POST and GET params    function getv  key   default        data type              param    isset   REQUEST  key       REQUEST  key     default        if   is array  param   amp  amp   data type     int              param   intval  param              return  param      There might be some cases when we want to get query parameters converted into Integer type  so I added the third parameter to this function

Also if you are looking for current file name along with the query string  you will just need following   basename   SERVER  REQUEST URI      It would provide you info like following example     file php arg1 val amp arg2 val   And if you also want full path of file as well starting from root  e g   folder folder2 file php arg1 val amp arg2 val then just remove basename   function and just use fillowing    SERVER  REQUEST URI

This code and notation is not mine  Evan K solves a multi value same name query with a custom function    is taken from  http   php net manual en function parse-str php 76792 Credits go to Evan K  It bears mentioning that the parse str builtin does NOT process a query string in the CGI standard way  when it comes to duplicate fields   If multiple fields of the same name exist in a query string  every other web processing language would read them into an array  but PHP silently overwrites them   lt  php   silently fails to handle multiple values parse str  foo 1 amp foo 2 amp foo 3       the above produces   foo   array  foo    gt   3      gt   Instead  PHP uses a non-standards compliant practice of including brackets in fieldnames to achieve the same effect   lt  php   bizarre php-specific behavior parse str  foo   1 amp foo   2 amp foo   3       the above produces   foo   array  foo    gt  array  1    2    3        gt   This can be confusing for anyone who s used to the CGI standard  so keep it in mind   As an alternative  I use a  quot proper quot  querystring parser function   lt  php function proper parse str  str        result array    arr   array         split on outer delimiter    pairs   explode   amp     str        loop through each pair   foreach   pairs as  i          split into name and value     list  name  value    explode       i  2              if name already exists     if  isset  arr  name               stick multiple values into an array       if  is array  arr  name                arr  name       value                else            arr  name    array  arr  name    value                       otherwise  simply stick it in a scalar     else          arr  name     value                 return result array   return  arr      query   proper parse str   SERVER  QUERY STRING       gt

The function parse str   automatically reads all query parameters into an array    For example  if the URL is http   www example com page php x 100 amp y 200  the code   queries   array    parse str   SERVER  QUERY STRING     queries     will store parameters into the  queries array   queries  x   100   queries  y   200    Look at documentation of parse str    EDIT  According to the PHP documentation  parse str   should only be used with a second parameter  Using parse str   SERVER  QUERY STRING    on this URL will create variables  x and  y  which makes the code vulnerable to attacks such as http   www example com page php authenticated 1
