I'm sorta confused on the php?stuffone=stufftwo link extensions and just how they work. Anyone want to fill me in?

This is setting variables in the PHP page via the $_GET variable.

http://somesite.foo/mypage.php?name=jon&toast=french

Inside the PHP script, the value of $_GET['name'] will be 'jon' and the value of $_GET['toast'] will be 'french'.

So if I were to apply that somewhere, it'd look a bit like this?

[PHP]
$_GET['foo'];

if ($var == 2) {
$_GET['foo']="bar";
} else {
$_GET['foo']="sandwich";
}[/PHP]

the $_GET variable is used for retrieving variables passed from other scripts or the user via the URL.

Basically like a session variable but without the session?

Here is a good tutorial on $_GET usage.
