PHP get URL query string

Question

What is the "less code need" way to get parameters from URL query string which is formatted like this:

www.mysite.com/category/subcategory?myqueryhash

Output should be: myqueryhash

I aware of this approach:

www.mysite.com/category/subcategory?q=myquery

<?php
   echo $_GET['q'];  //output: myquery
?>

$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] contains the data that you are looking for.

If you want the whole query string:

$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]
