[SOLVED] Passing Variable Thourgh Header Redirect

[phpretard]

$event=$_GET['event'];

 

header( 'Location: http://www.website.com/index.php?page=checkout&event=$event' );

 

The redirect works but the address bar reads:

 

http://www.website.com/index.php?page=checkout&event=$event' <---should be event=Sports

 

I need the $event.

 

It work throughout the site exept when a header redirect is used.

 

Any thought?

<?php

$event = $_GET['event'];

header("Location: http://www.website.com/index.php?page=checkout&event={$event}");

?>

 

Use double quotes when using variables inside them. I also added {} to make doubly sure
