 * I want to use custom parameters in query_posts function.
 * For eg.query_posts(‘section_name=xyz’);
 * I have used “query_vars” filter to add custom parameter as given in
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Queries](http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Queries)
 * but when i try to access value of this variable in “posts_where” filter like 
   this
 *     ```
       add_filter('posts_where', 'my_posts_order_where' );
   
        function my_posts_order_where( $where ) {
         global $wp_query;
         //print_r($wp_query;)It doesn't give value of section_name variable
        }
       ```
   
 * Can someone please suggest me how it cab be done?
