Read Query String

 <?
   $qString = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
   $qString = preg_replace('#[^a-zA-Z0-9_-]#', '', $qString);
   print "QUERYSTRING= $qString<BR>";
   if ($qString == "") $qString = "home";
   if ($qString == "home") {
     ?><i>Viewing the HOME PAGE</i></a> <?
   } elseif ($qString == "other") {
     ?><i>Viewing some other page</i></a> <?
   }

The line with preg_replace protects against known query string exploits. The null assignment could be done better, however, the example is for syntax purposes.
