Merry Christmas to you!

It's called a query string.

The query string is worth nothing without a server side program as the receiver/interpreter of the data in the string, in this case PHP. So I guess you should look into PHP, Perl or some other scripting language available on your server.

To not be misleading, JavaScript can also use queary strings.

I looked into query string, but i could not find much helpful materials.
I want write a javascript to interpreter query string on HTML, can anyone point me whereabout to learn this?

Seems to be a lot of material out there.
