Given this example url   http   www example com some-dir yourpage php q bogus amp n 10    SERVER  REQUEST URI   will give you      some-dir yourpage php q bogus amp n 10  Whereas   GET  q   will give you     bogus  In other words    SERVER  REQUEST URI   will hold the full request path including the querystring  And   GET  q   will give you the value of parameter q in the querystring

In the context of Drupal  the difference will depend whether clean URLs are on or not   With them off    SERVER  REQUEST URI   will have the full path of the page as called w   index php  while   GET  q   will just have what is assigned to q   With them on  they will be nearly identical w o other arguments  but   GET  q   will be missing the leading     Take a look towards the end of the default  htaccess to see what is going on   They will also differ if additional arguments are passed into the page  eg when a pager is active
