How can PHP developers efficiently add an "id" parameter to URLs without hardcoding the entire path?

To efficiently add an "id" parameter to URLs without hardcoding the entire path, PHP developers can use the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] variable to get the current URL path and then append the "id" parameter to it using PHP string manipulation functions.

$currentUrl = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$id = 123; // Replace 123 with the actual id value
$newUrl = $currentUrl . '?id=' . $id;
echo $newUrl;
