Grabbing url parameters, e.g. somepage.php?var=123

One area of MODx that I just haven’t really gotten dug into is forms: how does MODx handle passing form variables, either via a post or get method? I’m quite comfortable doing this when I code sites by hand, e.g. using PHP’s REQUEST method... but I assume MODx has some API methods that would let me grab any variables passed along with a url.

Can anyone suggest a place to start?

That is pretty much it, MODx doesn’t reinvent the wheel in that area ($_POST and $_GET also valid) - basically, you can use any methods in a snippet/module/plugin as you would use in a hand-coded script.

Remember, if you want to access any request variables in a snippet, you would need to have either the page uncached or, probably more preferable, the snippet uncached (using [! ... !])

Ah... somehow I thought it would be more complicated than that. Ok. That’s simple enough. Thanks!
