help on action via url variable

[Reeve of shinra]

I am trying to create a cmps module but I am looking for the module to display the information associated with a specific ID # that I want to encode in the url.

So if a user clicked on /blah.php?page=botw&babe=10 the module would do a search for ID 10 and pull up that information.

I figure I could use this but how do I define x as the # in the url?

PHP Code:

 if($_REQUEST['babe'] == 'x') 


this is actually what I have so far.

PHP Code:


if (empty($_REQUEST['babe']))
{
$_REQUEST['babe'] == '1';
}

else 
{
$babe = $_REQUEST;
}


$babeqry = $DB_site->query("SELECT id, name, bio, month, links FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "botw WHERE id IS $babe");

    $botwid = $babeqry["id"];
    $botwname = $babeqry["name"];
    $botwbio = $babeqry["bio"]; 
    $botwmonth = $babeqry["month"]; 
    $botwlinks = $babeqry["links"];


eval('$home[$mods[\'modid\']][\'content\'] .= "' . fetch_template('botw_featured') . '";');

perhaps this way?

if (empty($_REQUEST['babe'])) 
{ 
$_REQUEST['babe'] = '1'; 
} 


$babeqry = $DB_site->query("SELECT id, name, bio, month, links FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "botw WHERE id = $_REQUEST[babe]"); 

    $botwid = $babeqry["id"]; 
    $botwname = $babeqry["name"]; 
    $botwbio = $babeqry["bio"]; 
    $botwmonth = $babeqry["month"]; 
    $botwlinks = $babeqry["links"]; 


eval('$home[$mods[\'modid\']][\'content\'] .= "' . fetch_template('botw_featured') . '";');

thats just a guess...im far from being much of a php coder
