It _will_ throw an error, however, if url.x is not a number. Notice the
TYPE= part to my code? That forces the value to be a certain type.
Therefore, if the user mucks with the query string, and changes id=5 to
id=ray, they will get an error. (Of course, it's their fault, but normally
it's better to suppress things, and in this case, you may want to log an ip
to a security file or somesuch.)
