# URL Parameter Help!

 * I need to get the parameters ‘offset’ and ‘cat’ from a URL that looks like this:
 * /?page_id=87/?offset=3&cat=2
 * With a custom permalink structure, I could just use $_GET[‘offset’] to retrieve
   the value, but this doesn’t work with the default permalink structure.
 * I’d like to achieve this without the use of plugins.
 * Any guidance would be appreciated!

 * Your URL looks malformed to me. Shouldn’t it be /?page_id=87&offset=3&cat=2
 * I imagine your $_GET[‘offset’] will work after you fix that.
