How to get parameter after "/" in URL in PHP

Question

I need to let my users type anything at the end of my url, like this:

or

And then I would like to get that last bit that they added to the end of the url like so:

$var = $_POST[''];

But I'm not sure how to go about this, and I can't find anything, because I'm not quite sure how to search for it.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Okay, but how exactly would I accomplish this, when I don't know what the user has entered? — anon271334

For your second example you'd need to use url rewriting (search mod_rewrite) anyway. If there is a ? you can just

foreach($_GET as $key => $value) {   echo "$key: $value"; }
