how would I do this in php?

[geoman298]

Hello what I am trying to do is what most websites, YouTube for example in the url it is like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKyQhriO ... re=related - just a random video

This is what I think it does: it has a file called watch.php and some how by having diffident charters after watch.php it displays diffident info from a data base. how would I do that on my website?

those are the variables that are passed to a php file.
e.g. http://www.abcd.com/test.php?a=1&b=2&c=3

In this case the a,b,c with values 1,2,3 are passed to test.php.
