Where to add this line of code for a successful link?

[Chrisj]

I'm using a templated PHP script and have successfully added a link (to an image) 

to an html page there  (inner_play.htm) 

<a href="http://www.--.com/upload/[var.thumbnail]"><?php echo $newfilename?>Click Link</a>

and this (into the play.php file):

$thumbnail = $result['thumbnail'];

and this

$thumbnail = $_SESSION['$newfilename'];

So, I added it to another page (search_results.htm) without success.

 

I've tried a few different places, (in search.php file), to add:

$thumbnail = $result['thumbnail'];
$thumbnail = $_SESSION['$newfilename'];

but the link doesn't work from search_results.htm page

Maybe you can simply tell me where those lines should work best in search.php, or any other insight.

Any help will be appreciated. - see Search.php file attached
