$_GET default value

[autap6]

Hello everyone

I would like to know if $_GET has a sort of a default value?

What I mean is this: I want to make my url as short as possible, something like

www.domain.com/?1

is this possible?

or it must be www.domain.com/?v=1

thanks!

Test it

<?php var_dump( $_GET );

thanks logic_earth

is there an easy way not to display this:
array(1) { [123]=> string(0) "" }

I tried $myvar= var_dump ($_GET) but it still displays it.

I went on php.net and checked var_dump examples. In one of them, they suggest to use var_export($_GET, true) do you think it's ok?

You could use the PATH_INFO element in $_SERVER, given the URL:-

http://www.example.org/index.php/banana

You could grab 'banana' like so...

<?php
$var = trim($_SERVER['PATH_INFO'], '/');
?>

With a little dash of Apache's mod_rewrite module thrown in, you could quite easily remove index.php from the URL.

Alternatively, you could still use the query string.

http://www.example.org/?banana

You could grab 'banana' like so...

<?php
$var = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
?>
