Please explain what this means: mid=469

Hello;

I have seen this code (above) attached to the end of a URL e.g. world.php?mid=469. Would someone please expalin? I'm guessing it's to identify the page.

Are you referring to the "?mid=469"?

The "?" means that the URL is a querystring. This is where a page accepts the variable "mid" and its value "469" and processes it however the PHP coding within it, is written to process it.

It could also be a merchant id... if you've followed an affiliate link, the mid=469 bit would let the target website know which affiliate had referred the user to them...
