PHP: Adding parameters to a url?

If I have the url mysite.com/test.php?id=1. The id is set when the page loads and can be anything. There could also be others in there such as ?id=1&sort=new. Is there a way just to add another to the end without finding out what the others are first then building a new url? thanks.

Use this function: https://github.com/patrykparcheta/misc/blob/master/addQueryArgs.php

function addQueryArgs(array $args, string $url)
{
    if (filter_var($url, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)) {
        $urlParts = parse_url($url);
        if (isset($urlParts['query'])) {
            parse_str($urlParts['query'], $urlQueryArgs);
            $urlParts['query'] = http_build_query(array_merge($urlQueryArgs, $args));
            $newUrl = $urlParts['scheme'] . '://' . $urlParts['host'] . $urlParts['path'] . '?' . $urlParts['query'];
        } else {
            $newUrl = $url . '?' . http_build_query($args);
        }
        return $newUrl;

    } else {
        return $url;
    }
}

$newUrl = addQueryArgs(array('add' => 'this', 'and' => 'this'), 'http://example.com/?have=others');

As an alternative to Kolink's answer, I think I would utilize http_build_query(). This way, if there is nothing in the query string, you don't get an extra &. Although, it won't really make a difference at all. Kolink's answer is perfectly fine. I'm posting this mainly to introduce you to http_build_query(), as you will likely need it later:

http_build_query(array_merge($_GET, array('newvar'=>'123')))

Basically, we use http_build_query() to take everything in $_GET, and merge it with an array of any other parameters we want. In this example, I just create an array on the fly, using your example parameter. In practice, you'll likely have an array like this somewhere already.

"?".$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']."&newvar=123";

Something like that.
