Header with variable problem

[sqishy]

I don't know If i just have the syntax wrong or what but i am trying to send a variable through the header and it will not work.

 

current code...

//send user to topic

header("Location: showtop.php?t_id=".$_POST["t_id"]."&rt=");

 

The above works.

Below is what i am trying to do.

header("Location: showtop.php?t_id=".$_POST["t_id"]."&rt=".$_GET['rt']);

 

I put $_GET['rt'] into a variable and it echo the correct value, but when i place it in this line of code to go to the header the URL shows up without the 'rt' value. So i don't know if the sentax is wrong or what. Please help

 

example of what shows in URL "showtop.php?t_id=8&rt= "

Well,

<?php
header("Location: showtop.php?t_id=".$_POST["t_id"]."&rt=".$_GET['rt']);
?

 

The $_POST[] has " instead of '

[sqishy]

hmm The $_POST[] seems to work with " or ' but the problem is the $_GET for some reason with either of ' or " it still will not send the value with the url.

What does this output:

<?php
$tempVar = 'showtop.php?t_id='.$_POST['t_id'].'&rt='.$_GET['rt'];
echo $tempVar;
//header("location: $tempVar");
?>

try setting a variable with the $_get value and see if that works.

 

$rt = $_GET['rt'];

 

then use $rt in the redirect.

 

or try this

 

header ("Location: showtop.php?t_id=$_POST[t_id]&rt=$_GET[rt]");
