 * Hello all
 * I am trying to add a PHP script I have into a plugin.
 * the problem is it uses variables in the URL
 * for example if I include my page using a shortcode it needs to receive variables
   from url like
 * [http://sitename.com/pagename?contact=yes](http://sitename.com/pagename?contact=yes)
 * the plugin would then need to grab the variable
 * something like
 * `$contact=$_POST["contact"];`
 * can this work in wordpress?
 * I have been told that wordpress blocks url variables
 * what would be the best way to pass these variables to my plugin?
 * If there is a simpler way to pass these variables please include an example
 * Thanks for your thoughts and advise on this
 * Paul
