yes thats ok, but they need an equals sign at the end still like in
your second example, i havent tried it without, also
empty($_GET['this']) this is fine if you simply want to see if it
doesnt have another value, i use stuff like this for links to member
logins, that way they can be returned back to the same page after a
successful login and ensure everything was there that was before.
