I'm assuming that the tradeoff is the loss of having your variables
pre-populated in your scripts and that you have to parse the URL for
them. While it's probably easy enough to write my own, does anyone
have -- ready made -- a robust and versatile function for populating
variables from a URL.
My impulse is to go with this:
list($var1,$var2,$var3)=explode("/","$PHP_SELF");
Anyone one have a better idea?
A difference to note, it strikes me, is that using this method, it is
no longer arbitrary in which order the variables are stacked in the
URL. <http://domain/script.php/value1/value2/value3> would be a
different page from <http://domain/script.php/value3/value1/value2>,
whereas using variable declarations in the URL like so
<http://domain/script.php?value2=foo&value3=bar&value1=barfly> means
you can put them in any order you like.
