Get Querystring Value

By david.archibald on 19 Feb 2007 at 21:56 UTC

Greetings

First, as a relative newbie to Drupal I am amazed at what I have been able to do with a number of sites and a limited knowledge of PHP :)

I have what I suspect is a simple problem and I apologise in advance if it is covered elsewhere ... altho I have searched this forum and googled extensively.

I am migrating a database driven app which displays database driven info based on a id value ie show?id=1068.

How do I access the querystring value $id from a PHP script within Drupal?

My thanks in advance.

$value = $_GET['id'];

I'm not sure whether to be grateful or embarassed or both!

But thanks for helping a newbie - it is appreciated.

No problem - I didn't know

No problem - I didn't know how to do it either when I first started with PHP/Drupal.

Drupal 7

For Drupal 7, it seems this is the proper way to get query string parameters

Query parameters

I found a function drupal_get_query_parameters which returns an array (value pairs). Where must I put this general code. Make one module and call it library?
