Passing PHP Variable to Applet

[kvegas]

I'm trying to pass the variable "romname" to the rom parameter in the applet, but it's not working.  The applet loads but the file in the variable doesn't.

 

The guys in the PHP section said that the PHP code checked out and that it must be an applet issue, so here's my code.  Thanks!

 

<?php
$romname = "http://maverik247.com/vnes/roms/mariobros.nes";
?>


<applet name="vNES" code="vNES.class" archive="http://maverik247.com/vnes/vnes203.jar" width="512" height="480">
<param name="sound" value="on" />
<param name="timeemulation" value="on"/ >
<param name="fps" value="off" />
<param name="stereo" value="off" />
<param name="rom" value="<?php echo($romname);?>" />
<param name="showsoundbuffer" value="off" />
<param name="scale" value="on" />
<param name="scanlines" value="off" />
<param name="nicesound" value="on" />
<param name="romsize" value="24592" />
</applet>

 

I've tried directly assigning the variable in the parameter (

<param name="rom" value="http://maverik247.com/vnes/roms/mariobros.nes" />

) and it does work, however I need to be able to assign from a variable (which will eventually be passed to from the URL to PHP, and then to the applet).
