[thelist] PHP register_globals

So what I'm wondering is how you make use of the query string
www.somesite.com/file.php?var1=something
-------------------

A couple of ways. First to obatain a URL encoded passed variable such as
the above example you put this at the top of the page:

$var1 = $_GET['var1'];
THEN DO STUFF WITH $var1;

Or if you have a situation where the argument for var1 is not passed
(i.e. www.somesite.com/file.php) than do an if-else for it being set:

if(!isset($_GET['var1'])){ 
DO STUFF;
} else { 
DO OTHER STUFF;
}

There are many other ways, but this should get you started.
