php REQUEST_URI

Question

I have the following php script to read the request in URL :

$id = '/' != ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) ? 
    str_replace('/?id=' ,"", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) : 0;

It was used when the URL is http://www.testing.com/?id=123

But now I wanna pass 1 more variable in url string http://www.testing.com/?id=123&othervar=123

how should I change the code above to retrieve both variable?

Answer 1

You can either use regex, or keep on using str_replace.

Eg.

$url = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

if ($url != '/') {
    parse_str($url['query']);
    echo $id;
    echo $othervar;
}

Output will be: http://www.testing.com/123/123
