[SOLVED] Sending definitive info through a link

[djfox]

I have links set up as thus:

explore7.php?id=7&p=4

 

Where when the link is clicked on, id will always be 7 and p will always be 4. id is being sent fine but p isn`t. How can I get p sent?

 

 

Here`s ex_thereefs.php:

 

<?

$option = "link";

Here is explore7.php:

 

<?
include("dbcon.php");
include("func.php");
require_once "auth.php";
require_once "includes/defines.php";

$log = $_SESSION['sess_name'];

mysql_query("INSERT INTO coll_inven (user,item,price) VALUES ( '$log', '$id', '$p' )");

   
header("Location: ex_thereefs.php");

?>

It should sent using &, but try using &amp instead.

It should sent using &, but try using &amp instead.   

 

The same thing occurs. id is sent but not p.

[paul2463]

if you have a look here

$sites[1] = array("explore7.php?id=1&p=4", "</a>You Found a Dark Blue Shell! Click the image to add it to your inventory.<br><a href='explore7.php?id=1'><img src='collection/darkblueshell.png' border=0></a><p><a href='javascript:location.reload()'>Keep Exploring.</a>", 4);

 

slot 0 has your link including id=1&p=4

slot 1 has a href link that only includes id=1 without the p=4

 

try adding the p=4 to each line and it will work for the links

 

if you call

echo("<a href='" . $sites[0] . "'>" . $sites[1] . "</a>");

 

on the above line, the out put is

You Found a Dark Blue Shell! Click the image to add it to your inventory.

 

Keep Exploring.

 

but the page source shows

<a href='explore7.php?p=1&p=4'></a>You Found a Dark Blue Shell! Click the image to add it to your inventory.<br><a href='explore7.php?id=1'><img src='collection/darkblueshell.png' border=0></a><p><a href='javascript:location.reload()'>Keep Exploring.</a></a>

 

nothing holding the link that was in slot 0

My god, I feel incredibly stupid now. But I`m so glad you were able to point that out to me. (Having another set of eyes always helps!) Thanks a lot!
