Variable in header problem, need help!

[gordsmash]

What im trying to do is have the webpage forward the user to another page after they fill out something for a certain element in the database.

 

But the once I put the variable into a header for forwarding, the variable is thought to be a string instead of outputting its value it holds.

 

Heres my code....

$variable = "nextPage";

header('Location:webpage.php?id=$variable');

 

But whats its doing is sending the user to the url "webpage.php?id=$variable" instead of "webpage.php?id=nextPage"

 

What can I do to get the header to read the variable value and not the variable name?

 

All help is greatly appreciated!!!

try changing your ' for "

 

Like this:

 

$variable="nextPage";

header("Location:webpage.php?id=$variable");

Or maybe this:

 

header('Location: webpage.php?id='.$variable);

or maybe like this:

 

$variable="nextPage";

header("Location:webpage.php?id=${$variable}");
