   Sorry for my broken English.
   I've created a custom template and a page with it. My permalinks have the structure "/%category%/%postname%/". I want to send a parameter to my page (template).
   If to write "mysite.com/thepage/1234/" (where "1234" is any number), the page opens up. I can get this numeric parameter using php-variable $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].
   If to write "mysite.com/thepage/a1234/" or "mysite.com/thepage/1234/5678/", I get "the page you requested cannot be found".
   So I have questions. Why WordPress accepts only one numeric parameter? Is it a parameter indeed? How to send more then one not-numeric parameter to my template? Is there any functions for this? If that is impossible then is my method to get parameters permissible?

   Multiple parameters are passed after the page URL like this (assume http://yoursite/yourpage/ is the URL to get to the page):

   http://yoursite/yourpage/?param1=value1&param2=value2

   You get the values in the template using the $_GET array:

   $param1_value = (isset($_GET['param1'])) ? $_GET['param1'] : 'default param1';

   Here is an excellent reference on query strings:
