How to $_GET array element from URL

Question

I have this url:

search.htm?postSearchForm=1&mediaTypes[3]=3

I need to get mediaTypes[3] with $_GET method

This code doesn't work:

$value = $_GET[mediaTypes[3]];

Do: print_r($_GET); and you will see the structure of your array. And I'm sure you will see the solution right away :) — Rizier123

You should write

 $value = $_GET['mediaTypes'][3];

And don't forget to filter the data, for example

 if (ctype_digit($_GET['mediaTypes'][3])) 
    $value = $_GET['mediaTypes'][3];
