Php urls and wildcard
I have a few questions about php.
How would I make a script accept the url ?=abc. I think that it has something with the $_GET but I have no other ideas.
Also does php have a wildcard character?
These questions are related to my project Post-it CMS, which is my own ideas for a content management system. If you need to see the code I will post what I need help with if you need more info.
Thanks in advance.

If you have a URL like the following:
http://www.your-site.com/index.php?url=abc
Then your PHP code could look something like this:
<?php$url = $_GET['url']; //This now holds the value 'abc'
?>
I think the best way to think about wildcards is something like this:

I don't have too much experience with it, but I started reading the tutorial and that article is very detailed and explanatory.

Thanks kazimmerman that fixed my urls.
The wildcards are still confusing but I'll try that article, it does go pretty in depth.
