PHP-General - How to get more data in URL

Hello,
I have product page that returns url like this
127.0.0.1/page/pitem_buy.php?id=12559
How can I, using PHP get more data in URL like product name.
I do not need rewrite or SEO friendly URL, just need beside id, product name in any format.
I appreciate any help, thanks

Passing parameters in the URL uses the get method in PHP. You can add any additional parameters you want by separating them with '&'. So your URL might look like:

127.0.0.1/page/pitem_buy.php?id=12559&productname=some%20name

Note the use of %20 to represent a space (you could also have used '+'). It is important to not use reserved characters within parameters you are trying to pass. When generating the URL in PHP you should pass that part of the URL string through 'urlencode'. If generating the URL manually then you should look at this to make sure you don't get unexpected results.

As an aside, keep in mind that anyone can manipulate URLs to try to hack your site. Never put any sensitive data into a URL nor trust any strings in the URL (validation checking is critical to security when using the get method).

WORKS, thanks again
