parsing query string

Hi
has anyone any advice on the best way to parse a query string in a URL using PHP?
e.g. http://www.domain.tld/index.php?op=...h=somethingelse
How is it best to read the vars passed?
thanks

fox,

The $_GET (and $HTTP_GET_VARS) array holds all the variables passed in the URL for your convenience - already parsed into nice key=>value pairs and ready to go.

If you wanted to parse them manually, you would have to explode a couple of times (first by the question mark, then by the ampersand - and then again by the equal sign).
