Allow only a certain GET variable

I am trying to protect a file that has access to sensitive data.

 

Basically what I am looking for is a way to check that only $_GET['lead'] is passed to the document.

 

Is there a way to determine if #1 only lead is passed, and #2 what other variables might be sent in a GET request?

 

I am emailing a confirmation email to our clients, that has only the lead variable in the provided link.  I want to check against something like"

http://website/phpfile?lead=124&foo=bar

 

Where I can throw an error because foo was passed.

$_GET is an array, so you can do something like this:

<?php
$error = false;
foreach ($_GET as $k=>$v) {
  if ($k != 'lead') {
      $error = true;
  }
}
if ($error) {
   echo 'This page was invoked incorrectly';
} else {
//
// do your processing
//
}
?>
