My URL variable isn't passed in this statement - any ideas why?

[austrainer]

Hi the code is

 

<td height="25" colspan="3" align="center"><div align="left">Your 
                referral link is - <a href="<?php echo $site_url; ?>index.php?refId=<?php echo $_COOKIE['userId']; ?>" target=_blank><?php echo $site_url; ?>index.php?refId=<?php echo $_COOKIE['userId']; ?></a></div></td>

 

The results are if you move your cursor over the result you see a full correct link eg: http://mydomain.com/index.php?refid=1

However the text reference on screen is "index.php?refid=1" without the ""

 

I want the text reference on screen to read the full correct link.

 

Can anyone help with any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Scott

Why don't you put everything you want to display in a temporary variable and display that?

<?php
$tmp = $site_url . 'index.php?refId=' . $_COOKIE['userid'];
?>
<td height="25" colspan="3" align="center">
     <div align="left">Your referral link is - <a href="<?php echo $tmp ?>" target=_blank><?php echo $tmp ?></a>
     </div>
</td>

 

This way you're sure you're echoing the same information.

Hi Ken

 

Thanks - I tried that and got the exact same result - the $site_url variable and the $tmp variables are still not being echoed to screen. They are there in the url if you mouse over the link but won't display.  the  'index.php?refId=' displays with the hyperlink active on it. I wonder if there is something else going wrong?

 

Cheers

Just an idea and not sure if it would solve anything, have you tried it with " " around your _blank?

 

So it would be target="_blank">

 

That's the only thing which looks odd to me, everything else seems fine.
