Need PHP Help - Variable in URL

[dbaz]

I'm just trying to create a URL that includes a variable in the URL.

Here's what I have... that's not working correctly.

$uploaddir = '/home/httpd/vhosts/mysite/httpdocs/$category/images/';

I'm just trying to make the path dynamic with the $category variable... it's not recognizing the variable.

Any help is appreciated.

Just use $_GET when getting variables from the URL/query string.

This will work...

$uploaddir = '/home/httpd/vhosts/mysite/httpdocs/' . $_GET['category'] . '/images/';

You cannot put a variable inside '' and get the value of the variable, you have to put it in "" or end the '', then put the variable, then start '' again.

Like...

$var = 'foo';

echo 'This is ' . $var . 'bar';

# Results: This is foobar
