question about using echo

[robert123]

Hi, this is probably something very simple I am missing as I am not to familiar with php, but I have a variable declared as $id and I want to pass it in the url to the next page.  I thought you did this by adding this ?value=echo $id;

 

It did not send $id to the next page, is seems to just send "echo". If I leave out the echo and just have ?value=$id; will that work?

 

here is part of my code:

 

<?

$landingpage[1] = 'http://www.website.com/page1.php?value=echo $id';

?>

 

thanks

I assume that you are echoing the value of $landingpage[1] later in your page, if so:

 

$landingpage[1] = 'http://www.website.com/page1.php?value='.$id;

 

If you do need to show the landingurl you've just assigned to the variable just do:

 

echo $landingpage[1];

try this:

$landingpage[1] = "http://www.website.com/page1.php?value=$id";

Doesn't that need to use rawurlencode() ?

 

$landingpage[1] = 'http://www.website.com/page1.php?value=' . rawurlencode($id);

<?

$landingpage[1] = 'http://www.website.com/page1.php?value=$id';

?>

 

or

 

<?

$landingpage[1] = 'http://www.website.com/page1.php?value='.$id;

?>

Thanks everyone, I got it working now.

 

$landingpage[1] = 'http://www.website.com/page1.php?value='.$id;

 

That did the trick.
