Passing Variables to different pages

[bong_ripper]

I am having some trouble passing varibles from one page to another...
I am trying to pass them in the url like this:
www.thisURL.com?$var1=foo?$var2=bar
when i get to the other page i get:
$var1 = foo?=bar.
I am sick of using the explode() function.. Is there a work-around?

Thanks in Advance

1) don't use $ symbols in your URL.
2) after the file name, use a ?, and as a separator between each parameter, use a &.

Your example would then be:

www.thisURL.com?var1=foo&var2=bar

Hope that helps.

Thanks a million my friend...
It always seems to be the smallest, easiest thing that works...
especially after you have spent 15 hours working on a work-around. 🙂

I'm trying to pass a variable to a form. I want this field that corresponds with this variable to be pre-filled.

If I use this URL

http://mysite.com/services.php?refid=spayce

Then I go to the form page
what code do I need in the form page to ensure that the variable "refid" is carried over?

Will this work for you?

echo \"<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=something VALUE=$refid>\n\";

or you can pass it as a hidden variable:
echo \"<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=something VALUE=$refid>\n\";
