I am making a plugin for wordpress that is located at companyname.com/event/countdown/
. On this page I would like to dynamically some information from the url string to show a countdown the company can email. So in the url companyname.com/event/countdown/?city?daysleft
how can I echo out the city and the days left separately? So on the page it would be:
Event at <?php echo city ?>
is <?php echo daysleft ?>
days away
I have seen parse_url
and $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']
but I guess I am not fully sure how to get separate parts or build the url.
Wordpress doesn't stop the usage of typical super globals.
In this case, you can just use $_GET['city']
and $_GET['daysleft']
. The query string should be well formed, unlike yours, observe:
/?city=mycity&daysleft=someinteger
