jsfiddle save functionality

I want to make a save functionality like the one on jsfiddle. But i don't really know how to do it. So i have stored some data on a mysql database and used history.pushState to put a key in the url bar:

    var chars = "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXTZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";  
    var string_length = 5;                     
    var num_chars = chars.length;              
    var result = '';                     

    while(string_length--) {   
        result += chars[ Math.floor( Math.random() * num_chars ) ];  
    }


    history.pushState('', '', result);

I am using jquery, ajax, php to insert data into the database. The "result" is stored as a ID in the database. How do i use that to get the right data from the database. How do i make that url shareable to others?

Give the URL with an ID in it, like this (for example)...

http://yoursite.com?pageid=1234

and then in PHP you can access it like this...

$pageid = $_GET["pageid"];

You can then use that value to get data from your MySQL database as required.
