# Show query strings in post?

 * How would I include the value of queries in my link into my posts? For example,
   if the link is [http://www.domain.com/?id=12345](http://www.domain.com/?id=12345)
   I’d like to be able to put “12345” into my posts. Right now I am using exec-php
   plugin and I place
    code:
 * `<?php $id = strip_tags($_REQUEST['id']);?>`
 * in the header.php but when I try to echo $id, it comes out empty. It’s like it’s
   not passed into the posts and someone mentioned it might be a scope problem so
   I tried placing global $id into the post as well but no go. So an example post
   would be like this:
 *     ```
       blah blah blah come check out the product <a href="http://www.domain.com/?id=<?php echo $id;?>">here!</a>
       ```
   
 * This is for a rss feed for my affiliates for a product I’m promoting, I want 
   to be able to pass their affiliate code into the blog so they can just use this
   feed for whatever purpose they need.
