PHP - Input a string from a URL?

Question

Is it possible to input the string from the url in the code.

 $statut = file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/index.php?Etat_Query&ip=',$ip,'&port=25565');

i want $ip to be replaced with the variable 123.com from the URL.

(Sorry my english is not the best)

, should be . to connect two strings. Otherwise the simple answer to your question is yes it's possible — Onimusha

Of course it is possible but you have to URL Encode your ip variable in the URL using this :

$encoded = urlencode('123.com');

For your specific example it's not necessary but if the URL is more complicated (like using '&'...) it will be necessary.

Then your $ip variable would just be :

$ip = $_GET['ip'];

Let me just warn you about a security issue that could occur using this method, like malicious php script that could be downloaded to your server.
