How to process the passed value in php3?

one of my php3 page passes values to another php3 page.

"www.pricelane.com/searchit.php3?variable=value"

What are the commands to get/process the passed value?


both the scripts or PHP3.

Any help is appreciated.

The value will automatically be available to your script as a variable.

With the URL:

www.pricelane.com/searchit.php3?variable=value

The "searchit.php3" script will automatically have a variable called "$variable" whose value will be "value".

PS - If the value that you are passing is generated by user input, make sure you use the function urlencode() for your query string and the function addslashes() for your database query.

$url = "www.pricelane.com/searchit.php3?variable=" . urlencode(value);

For more info:

addslashes():
