   Hi all -- I'm new to this stuff but learning my way.

   I'm using a page driven by WordPress, and users will be directed to the page with a 32-digit ID appended to the URL.

   Example:

   http://www.MYURL.com/pageslug&ID=56gqenwe2889kjndfkv8nszif8jjfy6a/

   Does anyone know of a plugin that would help me capture that 32-digit ID? Any ideas? Thanks.

   Anything in the URL strung together with ? and & is a query string (set of query parameters), you can capture that in PHP using..
   

   <?php
   if( isset( $_GET['ID'] ) ) {
      echo $_GET['ID']; // Print's the value for testing
      // Or store in var example
      $my_var = $_GET['ID'];
   }
   ?>

   or
   

   <?php
   if( isset( $_REQUEST['ID'] ) ) {
      echo $_REQUEST['ID']; // Print's the value for testing
      // Or store in var example
      $my_var = $_REQUEST['ID'];
   }
   ?>
