This is what I am doing in Blog (slimmed down):

-------------------------------------
if (isset($_GET['var1'])) {
     Blog_User::fillInForward();
}

if (isset($_REQUEST['blog_id'])) {
     $blog = new Blog($_REQUEST['blog_id']);
}

function fillInForward() {
     $_REQUEST['blog_id'] = (int)$_GET['var1'];
}

--------------------------------------

The reason is that the blog_id may be sent from other places than just a 
straight up call to the item.

This method would prevent you from:
1) having to fix any other links you have where you are passing 'id'
2) having to check for var1 and/or id
3) prevent extra processes if mod_rewrite is not being used

It would be the same. It would return:

$channel->title = 'sample';
$this->channel_id = 4;

<a href="index.php?module=podcaster&var1=4">sample</a>

But now you could call:

PHPWS_Text::rewriteLink($channel->title,
                         'podcaster',
                         $this->channel_id,
                         $this->page_id,
                         $this->section_id,
	                $this->etc_id);

You can have as many vars as you need.

Matt
