It appears one problem is that you've anchored the grep:

Code:

grep "^?item_id="

In your example "?item_id" isn't the beginning of a line, so the ^ anchor means
nothing matches. Also, remember ? is a metacharacter.

You'll probably not get much more help without posting your actual code with the
real URL so somebody can see what is going on. When you obfuscate things you may
as well ask why this doesn't work:

Code:

some code
   some more code 
 also code
if code then
do some stuff
fi 
< input I'm not showing you
