How do u do it? I've got the following header to redirect to the view items page

 

header ('location:viewitems.php?category_selected=$categoryid');

 

but it displays non of the

 

and the URL has the following

 

http://localhost/example/cart/viewitems.php?category_selected=$categoryid

 

It doesn't seem to find the value?

Variables contained in strings delimited by single quotes are not expanded, those in strings delimited by double quotes are.

 

Use either:

<?php
header ("location:viewitems.php?category_selected=$categoryid");
?>

 

or

<?php
header ('location:viewitems.php?category_selected=' . $categoryid);
?>

Found the soloution straight after I posted this.

 

header('location:viewitems.php?category_selected=' .$categoryid);

 

Just incase anyone else is unsure how to do it.
