How can I access information sent through GET on a form?

If you have a dynamic site or are passing data through the URL, then you will need to use GET to access the variables sent from page to page.

To access the data sent this way, you use the $_GET array like this:

Imagine you have a parameter called 'name' in the URL, here's how to access it:

www.myurl.com?name=johnny

$youare = $_GET["name"]; this will now contain the value 'johnny'
