How to get variable in url?

[One Bad Omen]

Ok, so i have a table that has a primary key that also serves as an auto_increment, so every user has their own unique #. Well how would I get that # in the url? like lets say www.mysite.com/user=# and then it would take you to that users page?

put it in the url the right way would help.http://mysite.com/page.php?user=#;in PHP use this

$_GET['user'];

Notice that the stuff inside the [ and ] is the same thing as after the ? in the base url.

A small note on this... If your PHP page is also the index page, it's not requred to write the full filename of the PHP file. You might as well use the URLwww.mysite.com/?user=#
