Hey all, I was wondering how one gets PHP pages using $_GET working with just the question mark, e.g.

http://localhost/page/?article1

And I've got this page to test it:

<?php
    if(!empty($_GET)) {
        echo $_GET;
    }
    else {
        echo 'no dice';
    }
?>

And when I add the "?article1" to the URL it just echoes "Array", but when I don't it just says "no dice".

Any suggestions?

you need to set it equal to something..

http://localhost/page/?article=1

and to display what article is equal to, you need...

<?php
    if(!empty($_GET)) {
        echo $_GET['article'];
    }
    else {
        echo 'no dice';
    }
?>

Oh. Well, that's a let down. Thanks for taking the time anyways.

well, this is just to the best of my knowledge.. there probably is a way to do what you're trying to do..

since it's an Array, you can try

print_r ($_GET);

Using just '?'
