$_SERVER
I don't directly use $_GET due to security concerns, instead I create a new array called $_CLEAN which contains cleaned superglobal variables.
<?php
function clean($elem)
{
if(!is_array($elem))
$elem = htmlentities($elem,ENT_QUOTES,"UTF-8");
else
foreach ($elem as $key => $value)
$elem[$key] = $this->clean($value);
return $elem;
}
$_CLEAN['GET'] = clean($_GET);
?>
I also do this for $_POST, as followed:
<?php $_CLEAN['POST'] = clean($_POST); ?>
$_GET
$HTTP_GET_VARS [непрепоръчителна]
$_GET -- $HTTP_GET_VARS [непрепоръчителна] — Променливи от тип HTTP GET
Описание
Асоциативен масив с променливи, предоставени на текущия скрипт посредством метода GET на HTTP.
$HTTP_GET_VARS съдържа същата начална информация, но не е свръхглобална. (Забележете, че $HTTP_GET_VARS и $_GET са две различни променливи и PHP ги третира като такива)
Дневник на промените
| Версия | Описание |
|---|---|
| 4.1.0 | Въведена е $_GET, за сметка на непрепоръчителната $HTTP_GET_VARS. |
Примери
Example #1 Пример с $_GET
<?php
echo 'Здравей ' . htmlspecialchars($_GET["name"]) . '!';
?>
Приемаме, че потребителят е въвел http://example.com/?name=Ники
Примерът по-горе ще изведе нещо подобно на:
Здравей Ники!
Бележки
Забележка: Това е 'свръхглобална' или автоматично глобална променлива. Това просто означава, че тя е налична във всички обхвати навсякъде из скрипта. Не е нобходимо да правите global $variable;, за да я достъпвате от тялото на функции и методи.

You can use this function to remove any $_GET variables out of your URL, it takes an array off strings(the names keys of the $_GET you wish to remove) and returns the url with the ones specified removed
<?php
function getUrlWithout($getNames){
$url = "http" . ((!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS'])) ? "s" : "") . "://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$questionMarkExp = explode("?", $url);
$urlArray = explode("&", $questionMarkExp[1]);
$retUrl=$questionMarkExp[0];
$retGet="";
$found=array();
foreach($getNames as $id => $name){
foreach ($urlArray as $key=>$value){
if(isset($_GET[$name]) && $value==$name."=".$_GET[$name])
unset($urlArray[$key]);
}
}
$urlArray = array_values($urlArray);
foreach ($urlArray as $key => $value){
if($key<sizeof($urlArray) && $retGet!=="")
$retGet.="&";
$retGet.=$value;
}
return $retUrl."?".$retGet;
}
?>
Example
current url is http://www.example.net/index.php?getVar1=Something&getVar2=10&getVar3=ok
<?php
echo getUrlWithout(array("getVar1","getVar3"));
//result will be "http://www.example.net/index.php?getVar2=10"
?>

If you need to find out whether any GET variables have been specified, you can use the empty() function.
<?php
if(empty($_GET))
echo "No GET variables";
else
print_r($_GET);
?>

Please note that PHP setups with the suhosin patch installed will have a default limit of 512 characters for get parameters. Although bad practice, most browsers (including IE) supports URLs up to around 2000 characters, while Apache has a default of 8000.
To add support for long parameters with suhosin, add
suhosin.get.max_value_length = <limit> in php.ini

Just a note, because I didn't know for sure until I tested it.
If you have a query string that contains a parameter but no value (not even an equals sign), like so:
http://path/to/script.php?a
The following script is a good test to determine how a is valued:
<pre>
<?php
print_r($_GET);
if($_GET["a"] === "") echo "a is an empty string\n";
if($_GET["a"] === false) echo "a is false\n";
if($_GET["a"] === null) echo "a is null\n";
if(isset($_GET["a"])) echo "a is set\n";
if(!empty($_GET["a"])) echo "a is not empty";
?>
</pre>
I tested this with script.php?a, and it returned:
a is an empty string
a is set
So note that a parameter with no value associated with, even without an equals sign, is considered to be an empty string (""), isset() returns true for it, and it is considered empty, but not false or null. Seems obvious after the first test, but I just had to make sure.
Of course, if I do not include it in my browser query, the script returns
Array
(
)
a is null

This Function will help you to manage your GET parameters to facilitate coding and prevent duplication. This is a basic version but it can be easily extended.
<?php
// Author: Alberto Lepe (www.alepe.com)
/* Process $_GET to preserve user custom parameters
* the arguments is a list of URL parameters that should be removed/changed from URL
* for example:
*
* URL = "index.php?s=1&fi=2&m=4&p=3
*
* if called: fixGet("s"); the result has to be: ?fi=2&m=4&p=3
* if called: fixGet("s&m"); the result has to be: ?fi=2&p=3
* if called: fixGet("s=4"); the result has to be: ?s=4&fi=2&m=4&p=3
* if called: fixGet("s=2&m"); the result has to be: ?s=2&fi=2&p=3
* if called: fixGet("s=&m=3"); the result has to be: ?s=&fi=2&m=3&p=3
* if called: fixGet("s=2&m="); the result has to be: ?s=2&fi=2&m=&p=3
* Special: when it ends with a =":" its to leave it open at the end
* (just first occurrence) to facilitate concatenation:
* if called: fixGet("s=2&m:"); the result has to be: ?s=2&fi=2&p=3&m
* if called: fixGet("s=2&m:="); the result has to be: ?s=2&fi=2&p=3&m=
*
* Usage with HTML (using the URL example above and $id = 99):
*
* <a href="index.php<?php echo fixGet('m=2&s&fi:=').$id ?>" >Link</a>
* Explanation: change "m" to 2, delete "s" and "fi" gets the $id value. ("p" is kept as it is not specified)
* will output: <a href='index.php?m=2&p=3&fi=99'>Link</a>

Parsing of GET/POST drops duplicate variables unless those variables have "[]" (PHP bugs #10502, #15498 and #16195). Adding "[]" makes a mess of your javascript code, so here is a small workaround to it.
This function basically scans your raw POST and GET input and tries to fix the same. This function must be called near the top of your script. Optimizations are welcome.
<?php
function php_fix_raw_query() {
$post = '';
// Try globals array
if (!$post && isset($_GLOBALS) && isset($_GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"]))
$post = $_GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"];
// Try globals variable
if (!$post && isset($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA))
$post = $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA;
// Try stream
if (!$post) {
if (!function_exists('file_get_contents')) {
$fp = fopen("php://input", "r");
if ($fp) {
$post = '';
while (!feof($fp))
$post = fread($fp, 1024);
fclose($fp);
}
} else {
$post = "" . file_get_contents("php://input");
}
}
$raw = !empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) ? sprintf('%s&%s', $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], $post) : $post;
$arr = array();
$pairs = explode('&', $raw);
foreach ($pairs as $i) {
if (!empty($i)) {
list($name, $value) = explode('=', $i, 2);
if (isset($arr[$name]) ) {
if (is_array($arr[$name]) ) {
$arr[$name][] = $value;
} else {
$arr[$name] = array($arr[$name], $value);
}
} else {
$arr[$name] = $value;
}
}
}
foreach ( $_POST as $key => $value ) {
if (is_array($arr[$key]) ) {
$_POST[$key] = $arr[$name];
$_REQUEST[$key] = $arr[$name];
}
}
foreach ( $_GET as $key => $value ) {
if (is_array($arr[$key]) ) {
$_GET[$key] = $arr[$name];
$_REQUEST[$key] = $arr[$name];
}
}
# optionally return result array
return $arr;
}
?>

the addget function below actually has more use when you dont use the recursive merge as such:
<?php
function AddGet($ArrayOrString){
if(is_array($ArrayOrString))
return http_build_query(array_merge($GLOBALS['_GET'], $ArrayOrString));
parse_str($ArrayOrString, $output);
return http_build_query(array_merge($GLOBALS['_GET'], $output));
}
?>
In this case, if the key is added again with a different value it will be replaced with the new value.
addget("change=true"); // ?change=true
addget("change=false"); // ?change=false

<?php
function AddGet($ArrayOrString){
if(is_array($ArrayOrString))
return http_build_query(array_merge_recursive($GLOBALS['_GET'], $ArrayOrString));
parse_str($ArrayOrString, $output);
return http_build_query(array_merge_recursive($GLOBALS['_GET'], $output));
}
?>
<a href="index.php?<?php echo AddGet(array("change"=>true,"jump"=>"42m"));?>">URL</a>
<a href="index.php?<?php echo AddGet("change=true&jump=42m");?>">URL</a>
Assuming the user entered http://example.com/?name=Hannes
The above example will output something similar to:
<a href="index.php?name=Hannes&change=1&jump=42m">URL</a>
<a href="index.php?name=Hannes&change=true&jump=42m">URL</a>

This code is really useful for reproducing the values in the $_GET variable, and attaching that to a $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] value when building the action value of a form tag, so that you don't lose any other values that could have been passed:
foreach ($_GET as $key => $value) {
if ($key != "C") { // ignore this particular $_GET value
$querystring .= $key."=".$value;
}
}

Use this code if you want to retrieve your queries no matter what method is used. Hope it helps.
<?php
// By: RJ Regalado
// http://rjfiles.uni.cc/~php_examples/?id=1
$name = trim ((!empty($_POST['name'])) ? $_POST['name'] : $_GET['name'] );
if ( strlen ($name) < 1)
{
echo "Please enter your name";
} else {
printf ("Hello <b>%s</b><br>", $name);
printf ("Bonjour <b>%s</b><br>", $name);
printf ("Hallo <b>%s</b><br>", $name);
printf ("Ciao <b>%s</b><br>", $name);
printf ("Hola <b>%s</b><br>", $name);
}

<form method="POST">
Name: <input type="text" name="name">
<input type="submit" value="POST">
</form><hr>
<form method="GET">
Name: <input type="text" name="name">
<input type="submit" value="GET">
</form>

Note that named anchors are not part of the query string and are never submitted by the browser to the server.
Eg.
http://www.xyz-abc.kz/index.php?title=apocalypse.php#doom
echo $_GET['title'];
// returns "apocalypse.php" and NOT "apocalypse.php#doom"
you would be better off treating the named anchor as another query string variable like so:
http://www.xyz-abc.kz/index.php?title=apocalypse.php&na=doom
...and then retrieve it using something like this:
$url = $_GET['title']."#".$_GET['na'];
Hope this helps someone...

Note:
If nothing is set in the address bar, the value of $_GET['n'] will be NULL, not ""(empty string) or false.
