accessing GET variables

[jimfog]

Suppose we have the following code:

<li><a href=" ' . $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] . "?nest=" . $test . ' ">click here</a></li>

If i wanted to access nest i would write:

if (isset($_GET['nest'])) {

The question is, what is the syntax to access $test?Because we might have the following code:

<a href=" ' . $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] . "?nest=" . $test . ' ">Click here</a><a href=" ' . $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] . "?nest=" . $test1 . ' ">Click here1</a>

and i want to grab only $test1-with if (isset($_GET['nest'])) i access both of them sth i do not want.

Give them different names instead of calling them both nest if you need to distinguish between them.

Ok besides that, is there a way accessing them, without changing the name of "nest"? I am asking out of curiosity.

You can split the string... like

echo '<a href="' . $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] . "?nest=" . $test . '">Click here</a>';if (isset($_GET['nest'])) {echo '<a href="' . $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] . "?nest=" . $test1 . '">Click here1</a>';}

??? if (isset($_GET['nest'])) will only retrieve one nest value of the link that was clicked, definitely not both of them, on the loading of page.
