passing variable via url

[ainoy31]

i am trying to pass a variable in the url to the next page:

 

http://www.xxx.com/xxx.php?at=$price

 

then, on the xxx.php page i would just use the following command to retrieve the variable:

 

$test = $_GET['at'];

 

wouldn't this be correct?

That would be correct.

I have this:

 

<a href="http://www.xxx.com/xxx.php?at=$at">Click here to pay for your flight by credit card</a>

 

on the xxx.php, i do $test = $_GET['at'];  when i echo $test out, there is no value.  it just displays $test on the screen.  I double checked the value of $at and there is a value there.  I am losing the value between the pages?

 

Thanks,

I have no interest in visitng your site with that link.

 

Post an example of the code you're using to determine the value of the passed parameter and display it.

I'm guessing that the xxx is just a generic place holder and not for a porn site

 

Anyways what I'd do is go to the page with that link, and hover over it to see if the link contains the $at variable and $at isn't blank. Cause from what you posted the code looks correct. Sounds to me like the variable is empty or is becoming empty before you attempt to pull it out of the $_GET array.
