Array of different $_GET variables

Question

Say you are on this page: profile.php?user=1&wicked=3

To get an array like:

Array
(
    [user] => 1
    [wicked] => 3
)

How do I simply get the first or second value of the array? So if I want the second, I would get: wicked=3? Is it something with a foreach loop?

You should probably explain what you are trying to do because depending on the order of the parameters is probably not the greatest idea. — Paolo Bergantino

foreach will help but as Paolo said you might be doing something wrong — Oleg

I want to determine it by the number of the variable. Like first, second, third, etc. — a79ce734e1

If I get you right, you would like to use number-indexed array.

$new_ar = array_values($_GET) ; //["user"=>"1", "wicked"=>"3"] ;
echo $new_ar[1] ; // echoes 2nd value - "3"

Perfect! This is exactly what I was looking for.

$get_values = array_values($_GET); $get_keys = array_keys($_GET);  $get = $get_keys[1] . "=" . $get_values[1]; echo $get;
