Variables not working in .php Echo

[Mavent]

Hello all,

I'm passing variables through a URL.

 

This will work:

echo $v4;

But neither of these will:

echo "<a href='test.php?v4=$v4'>Places</a>";

echo "<a href='test.php?v4=".$v4."> Places</a>";

It WILL work if I hardcode v4, like so:

echo "<a href='test.php?v4=Utah'>Places</a>";

But that's useless to me, as I don't want to have to write 50 If statements for every database entry.

 

Does anyone know how to fix this? 

Thanks!

You've put variables inside of a string, hence the problem.

 

Try this:

 

echo "<a href='test.php?v4=" . $v4 . "'>Places</a>";

 

instead of

 

echo "<a href='test.php?v4=".$v4."> Places</a>";  <---  you forgot the other '

Thank you so much!  While I do feel like an idiot for missing the ', you're my personal hero for pointing it out!
