Set URL as a variable...

Anon

Hi!

I posted this in the General Forum before, but then realized that this would probably be a more appropriate forum...anyway...

Here is the code I am using:

<?php
$url = www.yahoo.com;
?>
<frameset rows=30,*>
<frame src="http://www.mydomain.com" name="top" scrolling=no>
<frame src="http://<?php echo "$url\n"; ?>" name="bottom">
</frameset>

I want the bottom frame to be the URL defined by the variable. If I do it the way I have it above, the frame reads the URL as http://wwwyahoocom, instead of http://www.yahoo.com.

I would appreciate it if anyone could give me a solution to this problem, I've been working on it to no avail for quite some time now.

Thanks!
Barry

Problem solved...

Glad you solved your problem Barry. Its always doesn't hurt to post your solution in case anyone reading ur post wants to know as well.

The problem looks like it was in the line

$url = www.yahoo.com;

I'm guessing that once you put quotes around your URL string the problem was solved i.e.

$url = "www.yahoo.com";

In PHP, the . operator is used for string concatenation. So the code $url = www.yahoo.com will concatenate the 3 strings "www", "yahoo", "com" into one string forming "wwwyahoocom". But if the . lies inside quotes, it is treated literally, so problem solved.
