PHP Parse URL From Current URL

Question

I am trying to parse url and extract value from it .My url value is www.mysite.com/register/?referredby=admin. I want to get value admin from this url.

Answer 1

Is not a really clean solution, but you can try something like:

$url = "MYURL";
$parse = parse_url($url);
parse_str($parse['query']);

echo $referredby; // same name of the get param (see parse_str doc)

PHP.net: Warning

Using this function without the result parameter is highly DISCOURAGED and DEPRECATED as of PHP 7.2.

Dynamically setting variables in function's scope suffers from exactly same problems as register_globals.

Read section on security of Using Register Globals explaining why it is dangerous.
