I'd suggest using the parse_url() method to get partway there.<br />
<br />
$pieces = parse_url($url);<br />
preg_match('/[&amp;?]info=([^&amp;<wbr />]+)/', $pieces['query'], $match);<br />
echo $match[1];<br />

I get this error:<br />

Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in....<br />
<br />
I have php 5 with register_globals=off if that helps.

I made this script to get the url and extract the value of the info variable. It works great, but I need to know if there is a better way to rewrite this to be a smaller amount of code. I think it is quite bulky looking.<br />
<br />
It can be tested by simply using a url like this:<br />
http://www.domain.com/somepage.ext?info=testdata&blah=moretests<br />
<br />
It should only echo: testdata<br />
<br />
<br />
$s = preg_match(&quot;/\\?info=(.*)(<wbr />[&amp;])/i&quot;, $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], $matches);<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if ($s !== false) <br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$tmp = str_replace('&amp;', '', $matches[0]);<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;echo $info = str_replace('?info=', '', $tmp);<br />

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
