A PHP question help

How can I do in php to detect the id of a user in a link for example:

facebook.com/092439542392435555

and return on the page the details about that account

If you are not using routing in php, I would reccomend you use “get” requests in the url. For example, instead of:

example.com/id/283493248923489234

You would want to use:

example.com/id?id=283493248923489234

To “capture” the value of id in php, you would want to use the $_GET variable. If you have a page called id.php and it contains this code:

<?php

echo $_GET["id"];

Somebody who visits /id.php?id=123 would see 123 on their screen.

Just note that this assumes you are using the Apache web server; this will not work if you are not using the lamp-poc project on glitch.
