How to get URL query string parameters with PHP?
To get URL query string parameters with PHP, we can use the parse_url function.
For instance, we write
$url = http://www.example.com/page.php?x=100&y=200';
$url_components = parse_url($url);
parse_str($url_components['query'], $params);
echo $params['x'];
to call parse_url with $url to parse the $url string into an associative array with various URL parts.
Then we call parse_str with the $url_components['query'] and $params to put the query parameters into the $params associative array.
And then we get the value of the x query parameter with $params['x'].
