Not sure what you mean it is just a php script passing a variable named act and setting the value of it to home through the URL to be used on the page index.php it could simply be an HTML anchor like

The variable in the URL is not only used with PHP. It could be used with ASP, simply an HTML GET form, or web applications like Flash, Java, etc.

In your example, http://lkdk.com/index.php?act=home, act is the name of the variable, and home is the value of the variable act. You can include a second variable by placing a & between two variables, like so:
http://lkdk.com/index.php?act=home&variable2=away

Sorry if I used PHP as an example but it is more widely used than ASP and the sample link given was a php index page so I acted accordingly. I use PHP because it is not dependant on a particluar server just the fact that PHP is supported whereas ASP is not. Neverthelss their are variable being passed with the URL requiring a get function to do something with the variable.
