Hey all, My first post here..., new to php and so far doing great picking it up... but, tonight I'm having a brain fart... How do you pick up (read) the parameters passed into a php script from an html file? Given... http://somewhere/dosomething.php?showtopic=99999 How do you read or get the value showtopic and the value of 99999? I know this is simple but I'm pulling my hair out here... Thanks!
