PHP extension querie! .php?id=2

Hi all I am a beginner with mark up and am trying my hand at HTML, Javascript and PHP. Currently I am copying source code from sites so I can learn and understand the code and rebuild the sites with my own content.

Just recently I came across a site and within the mark up of the page 'works.php' it gives me this href

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <li><a href="javascript:getWork(1)">Works 1</a></li>

which tells the page to go get the URL

http://www.leandroerlich.com/works.php?id=2

what I'm finding hard to grasp is the extension onto the usual .php convention

works.php?id=2

what is "?id=2" ??

I understand that this maybe also a javascript question so I apologise if I am writing this thread in the wrong place.

If anyone can help me I would be very greatful

blunt

No, this is not a javascript question. Do some search on google for GET and POST method.

this is how you pass info from one page to another. lets say thats an id of some item from the other page. like a book for a library page. when you click the image or link it will have something like
html Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <a href="info.php?id=2> link</a>

this carries the book id to the next page. from the next page you can pull that id from the url.
php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. $id = $_GET['id'];
now you can pull data from the db using the $id.
php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. $bookinfo = mysql_query('select * from books where bookid = .$id.') or die(mysql_error());

that is why urls have the ?id=2

There are 2 ways to pass an information in web.. It is either through POST or GET..

if you see and extension of index.php?id=1 .. it means that the page is trying to send an information. This is like saying im going to pass variable id which has a value of 1 to index.php
