Filtering by URL

[ZGeek]

Is is possible to make a filter that takes its conditions from the URL?

With my db, I'd like to make it so that when a person checks out the site, it only displays entries by them

http://www.zgeek.com/test/deft_payments_view.php

I can pass the value of the username from the site I've coded, but I have no idea if and how it is possible to do this.

I was thinking something close to

http://www.zgeek.com/test/deft_payments_view.php?deft_payments.username_log<=>Theusername

hello? Anybody home?

I guess nobody understands what you mean by:
"takes its conditions from the URL"

damn terminology.

Basically I want to make it so people can search the database using a username. So they'd click on the url and it would automatically filter the search results displaying only with the records entered by their username.

$uri = substr(strstr( $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], '='),1);

use this snippet at at the beginning of your code, it will extract the query from url.

www yourname com/filename php?userID=55

your results will be 55

select * from databse where column = $uri

there ya go
