[SOLVED] Passing variable to an email, then from email to a new page.

[tqla]

There is one aspect of a survey that I need help with.

 

When one completes the survey they are sent a personalized HTML email

 

There is a link in the middle of this html email.

 

I want the user to click on that link to display a new web page.

 

This web page will display and should contain two variables from the survey. Specifically the users firstname and player id. Those variable are $firstName and $clubCard. The session will have been destroyed by now so I can't rely on them being available.

 

How do I add the variables to the link in the email so that it passes to email first and then to the new page?

 

Let's say this is the link to the new page: http://www.xxxxxxxx.com/reward.php

 

Then how do I grab the variables from the link?  I assume they are already converted to their values.

 

Thanks!

easy:

 

http://www.xxxxxxx.com/reward.php?firstName=firstname&clubCard=playerid

 

$firstName = $_REQUEST['firstName'];

$clubCard = $_REQUEST['clubCard'];

  :o Ooops! That was totally unintentional! I hope I didn't break a rule here! Sry.

lol, well look at it this way, steelmanronald used it, and hes an admin. =)

 

I just thought it was funny that it actually linked to a pr0n site.
