When I use the code

PHP Code:

<?php
$path = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; 
echo $path;
?>

I get an echo similar to "/example/index.php?a=test". I was wondering if it was possible to only echo out what follows the "=" sign? Any ideas?

You can explode($path) using the = sign as the break point and the echo the result.

$_GET['a'] is what you need

echo $_REQUEST['a'] another posibility

While true for $_GET vs $_REQUEST, I would highly recommend only using $_POST and not $_REQUEST when you are wanting POST to a page. Otherwise, someone could send the parameters via the URL [GET] and have the same results.
