Creating node with custom default values in drupal form

I have some entity type and I have page with link on press which I want to call drupal form for creating new node of my entity type. Link looks like http://testname/categories/category/222/555?page=1#overlay=node/add/entity_type.

How to take paths from url, in my case - numbers, and show it in fields of adding form?

I can use "get" parametrs in link, but how I can make it default values for new node or display in fields of drupal form for creating new node?

Thanks.

To get the query parameters use the arg(index) function where index is the position of the parameter in the url, i.e. arg(0) = categories.

To display default values in a form use the #default_value attribute to a field. For more information use the Drupal Form Api reference.
