So I want to be able to set up a single PHP script that can handle requests to unique urls. In this case, the user is submitting a join id code. For example, with $_GET they could go to example.com/join?code=abc123 and I could easily get the code with $_GET['code'] which would be set to "abc123". However, I want to set up a system where they can join with a url like the following: example.com/join/abc123. I do not know how to get the abc123 code from that url. I want all of this to be handled from a single script, ex. join.php.

1If you want to pull `abc123` from it, then use `parse_url()`. http://php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php – Funk Forty Niner Feb 19 '16 at 02:50

Zach, your question's a tad bit unclear. You want to pull `abc123` but use a mod rewrite, correct? Pretty sure that's what you need here then. – Funk Forty Niner Feb 19 '16 at 02:57

I have the mod rewrite all set up so that I remove the `.php`, but I am still unclear of how to pull the `abc123` – Zach P Feb 19 '16 at 02:58

1`parse_url()` http://php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php see http://stackoverflow.com/a/19193610/ could be of help and other answers in the same question. TBH, I'm not so hot with `.htaccess` stuff. – Funk Forty Niner Feb 19 '16 at 03:01

I understand how the `parse_url()` function works but I am unclear where I would put the code that uses that function. If I go to `example.com/join/abc123` it is going to give me a 404 error. How would I be able to put the code in `example.com/join` so that I could get all the data after `/join/` in a single file, if that makes sense – Zach P Feb 19 '16 at 03:03

What exactly is your problem? if you think its mod-rewrite related then why don't you post the code? – Amit Verma Feb 19 '16 at 03:08

It is not mod-rewrite related (I think). – Zach P Feb 19 '16 at 03:09
