Passing Varibles

[Anon]

I have a problems passing variables between 2 files. Here how it looks like

Config.php

<?
$imdb_search='http://us.imdb.com/Name?<?echo "$last,+$first";?>';

<?

Index.php

<?php include("config.php");?>
$first="Joe";
$last="Black";

<a href="<?echo $imdb_search;?>"></a>

When I do this, the output for the link is
http://us.imdb.com/Name?,+
I was wondering why the variables weren't passed and what's the solution? I don't know PHP well.

Thanks

The single quotes surrounding $imdb_search are causing the problem, I think. Try dropping the single quotes altogether:

$imdb_search = "http://us.imdb.com/Name?$last,+$first";

You must set the variables and after that include the file:

<?php
$first="Joe";
$last="Black";
include("config.php"); ?>

See the include() page in the manual.
