php params not getting called

Question

I have link as test.php?fullname=Fahim&emailid=test@test.com

In test.php I have below

$fullname = $_POST['fullname'];
$emailid = $_POST['emailid'];

echo "$fullname===$emailid===";

I always get response as ======

I was expecting as Fahim===test@test.com.

Any idea why this is happening?

That's `$_GET` not `$_POST` – naththedeveloper Jul 16 '13 at 11:25 — naththedeveloper, Jul 16 '13 at 11:25

In test.php data will be recieved using $_GET cause you are sending data using URL

earlier everything was working.. all of sudden dnt know today problem is coming... – Fahim Parkar Jul 16 '13 at 11:26
$_POST will only work if the data is POSTed to the script, putting it in the URL is not POST, so perhaps you used to use a form to submit the information – Anigel Jul 16 '13 at 11:29
you have to first check also that your form method is GET only – Rohitashv Singhal Jul 16 '13 at 11:30

Your link test.php?fullname=Fahim&emailid=test@test.com

$fullname = $_GET['fullname'];
$emailid = $_GET['emailid'];
echo "$fullname===$emailid===";

Output

Fahim===test@test.com

You have to use $_GET['param_name'] to retrive values sending via url.

When you pass parameters from the url, it is a get request..

In PHP, we use $_GET for fetching information from get request

$fullname = $_GET['fullname'];
$emailid = $_GET['emailid'];

echo "$fullname===$emailid===";
