Basic question variables in URL

[a_glennsmith]

I have inherited some pages from someone else who wrote them and as I am a newbie and the code is quite old I suspect it needs to be updated in order to work.

 

I have two variables $p and $service that were passed from page 1 to page 2 via the URL.  On page 2 I have updated the code for echo $_GET['$p'] etc and I am happy with that.

 

Lower down on page 2 within an HTML form the author has

 

<input type="hidden" name="service" value="<?
echo $service;
?>" />

<input type="hidden" name="p" value="<?
echo $p;
?>" />

 

with the intention of putting these variables in the URL for page 3 I have to assume.

 

Page 3 begins with this code

 

 "completeyourorder.php?p=" . $p . "&service=" . $service;

 

but the variable values are not showing up in the URL and I can not seem to use them on page 3.  In other words they don't seem to be available to me.

 

I'd appreciate help to change the page 3 code above or the page 2 code so that it works as intended.  I found some posts and researched tutorials but all that I have tried has not worked.

 

Thanks
