how to read link variables

[mThomas]

I am sure this is easy, but I'm a little lost as to how. I want to create a link in an email with variables and have those variables inserted into a SQL DB when someone clicks on the link.

The link would be something like:

[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mysite.com/myscript.aspx?id=12345&email=mike@mike.com[/URL]

Once I can read the variables, I can handle the DB part. If someone can get me started on how to read the variables into a script, I would appreciated it ever so much.

I'm beginning to wonder if this is even possible using asp.net. I can do it easily in PHP, though PHP is not installed on the server I'm working on.

In PHP I would do something like this on an HTML page:

<a href="testing.php?test=mike">click here</a>

Then in the PHP script I would do something like:

<?php 

$t = $_GET["test"];

print "$t";

?>

Is there an equivalent in asp.net where I can place a link in an HTML page (not generated by asp.net) and pass a variable within the link, like above, to an asp.net script, say using VB, to read the variable?

Am I spinning my wheels?

I figured it out. I used Request.Querystring().
