php within include file

rstambau

I'm new to php and really could use some help please.

Here is what I'm trying to do.

I am setting an unqiue ID at the top of a team.php file that I would like to be using within an include file I am calling from the team.php page.

Here is the php at the top of team.php that is used to lock down the user ID for that website page:
<?
$userid=101010;
?>

Then in the body of the team.php file I place an include that includes a mlinks.php file that contains a URL like this:

The php in the mlinks.php doesn't seem to recognize the unique ID set at the top of team.php when included. I need the php to insert 101010 into the url when clicked on the team.php page.

Anybody have any ideas how to accomplish this?
Thank you very much for your time.

Certainly an interesting way to mimic a query string.
Not exactly sure if that method will even work to begin with.

<a href="http://www.qksrv.net/click-1148924-44074?SID=<?=$userid?>">blah</a>

The php works for links like this within the team.php, but not for links brought in with the include file.

riffy

what is the = for in

<a href="http://www.qksrv.net/click-1148924-44074?SID=<?[b]=[/b]$userid?></a>

couldn't you try

<a href="http://www.qksrv.net/click-1148924-44074?SID=<? [B]print[/B] $userid[B];[/B] ?>[B]>[/B]whatever</a>

i think u are also missing the > after the <?=$userid?>, also if i'm not mistaken the semicolon needs to be there too??

i've highlighted my changes

'=' is a short way to echo, instead of

<? echo "yeah"; ?>

you would use

<?= "yeah"; ?>

kinda like' <%=' replaces '<% Response.Write' in ASP

Actually I didn't give you the whole URL. Here is the whole URL:

<a href="http://www.qksrv.net/click-1148924-1147188?SID=<?=$userid?>" target="_top" >example</a><img src="http://www.qksrv.net/image-1148924-1147188" width="1" height="1" border="0">

I guess I need more knowledge of php. When I set the unique ID variable in the php of the calling file does the unique ID value get lost when I 'include' the php into the calling php file?

I wondered if there was a way to save the unique ID into a session where the unique ID would still keep its value when the include php is brought in.

I'm probably confusing everybody with this.
