how do you get the var or what ever the thing is from a url extension like ".php?ID=87643&name=john" they look like it'd just be another $var but when i tried it didnt work , and i haven't seen any tutorial info that has it ( unless i missed it some how >< )

could some 1 give me an example of how it works plz?

i expect you to have some html knowledge right?

in html there is GET and POST. get is the ?ID=65678 and post is more on the backend side

<form action=".php" method="GET">
<input type="text" name="ID">
<input type="submit" name="button">
</form>

will send .php?ID=

in php to get that you can use $_GET[] and $_POST[]

<?php
$ID = $_GET['ID'];
echo $ID;
?>

this will take the value and print it to the screen.
