Hi People i was wondering if anyone could help me,

I want to get a variable out of the address bar and use it with my database content selection as a hazardous guess i tried

$page = $GET['pages'];

SELECT * FROM database WHERE title='$page'

Before anyone says I know this is totally wrong but worth a try!

Any help would be greatfully appreciated, or someone to point me in the direction

Thanks In advance

It's $_GET and don't forget to addslashes() to anything you using a database query.

$page = $_GET['pages'];

SELECT * FROM database WHERE title=' . addslashes($page) .'
