Get the GET variables from a URL String

Hey, say I have a url just being passed through my php is there any easy way to get some GET variables that are being passed through it? It's not the actual url of the page or anything.

like a just have a string containing

http://www.somesite.com/index.php?url=var&file_id=var&test=var

Whats the best way to get the values for those variables?

It's actually a lot easier than writing any custom functions.

$queryStr = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

I'd use something like:

preg_match_all('/(\?|&)([^=]+=[^&]*)/', $string , $matches);

then

print_r($matches[2]);
/*
Array
(
    [0] => url=var
    [1] => file_id=var
    [2] => test=var
)
*/

Hope it works 4 u.

$href = 'http://www.somesite.com/index.php?url=var&file_id=var&test=var';

$url = parse_url($href);
print_r($url);
/* Array
(
    [scheme] => http
    [host] => www.somesite.com
    [path] => /index.php
    [query] => url=var&file_id=var&test=var
) */

$query = array();
parse_str($url['query'], $query);

print_r($query);
/* Array
(
    [url] => var
    [file_id] => var
    [test] => var
) */

parse_str(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_QUERY), $array), see the manpage for parse_str for more info.
