    Use the PHP function parse_url() on the URL. Then, use parse_str() on the query part of the parsed url:

    $url = "http://www.smartseatdiningchaircovers.com/aaa/aaa/?utm_nooverride=1&payer_email=aaa@aaa.com&txn_id=111&first_name=Adam&last_name=Eve&payment_status=123&currency=USD&client_id=1234&hash=12345";
$url_parts = parse_url($url);
echo '<br />PARTS:';
print_r($url_parts);
$query_vars = array();
parse_str($url_parts['query'],$query_vars);
echo '<br />VARS:';
print_r($query_vars);

    Thanks for your response. A few follow-up questions:
    1) This looks like php. Am I going to be better off creating a new template for my page that has this code in it or should I use a plug-in like php execution? Or have I missed something altogether in how to use the code?

    2) Since the URL is dynamic and changes with each use, could I substitute the $url = http etc etc” with this code that I found on the web:

    $url = (!empty($_SERVER[‘HTTPS’])) ? “https://&#8221;.$_SERVER[‘SERVER_NAME’].$_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] : “http://&#8221;.$_SERVER[‘SERVER_NAME’].$_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’];

    Thanks so much.

    1) It is hard to answer without knowing the whole story. I am guessing that the ‘page’ is a WP post or page that is being displayed by the template.

    If that is the case, I think you could use a shortcode in the text of the post and have it substitute in the correct text from the URL. If you are not familiar with shortcodes, here is a tutorial.

    2) You can fill the $url variable in any way that you see fit. The way you have shown looks OK, but I have not tested it to see if it actually works.

    I’ve been working with your code and php functions and shortcodes. I’m almost there and will push it over the line later this week. Thanks so much for the help.
