'ello,

Is it Possible, in PHP to read a URL?

What I am trying to do is this...
I have many news stories in a database, and a single static news page, that
calls the story, and the corresponding headline.
I have looked about on-line, and seen a common URL,...

http://www.arandomsite.com/news_story.php?id=123

I have adopted this method, and it only displays the top most story in my
database, no matter what news ID I use.

Can I get the ID number from the URL?, and then pass that to the SQL statement?

I cannot find a tutorial or similar on-line anywhere.

Hope you can help,
Tris...

P.S, after getting this all set up, my boss asked me to turn everything into
.jsp pages.
SO, I am off to buy a "JSP in 20 seconds" Type books, any ideas?
