title: How can I retrieve an id from the url in Coldfusion?
body: <p>I'm updating a site and am struggling to find a way to get an id from the URL. For example I have this:</p>
  
  <pre><code> http://some.html/search.cfm?id=9900000000301
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I get the id value <em>"9900000000301"</em> from the URL in Coldfusion8?</p>
  
  <p>I have tried <em>url.id</em> plus all sorts of *cgi.query_string* variations, but the number is still out of reach :-(</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for help!</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong>:<br>
  If I dump the URL struct, I'm getting this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>catch - struct
  
  TYPE: default
  VALUE: search
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which is not saying much to me.</p>
