How are you generating dynamic map URLs?

[mgm_03]

what success, if any, have you had in implementing dynamically generated links to online mapping services (such as mapquest.com).

So when a user requests more info about a company, the address info is retrieved from the database and put into the URL that links to the mapping service website.

My effort to stick array values into the URL have not succeeded.

this is the example given at mapquest

<a href = "http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?city=denver&state=CO&address=1565+california+st&zip=80202&country=us&zoom=5">

this is one of my many failed experiments.

$state=$row1[state];
$zip=$row1[zip];
print '<a href = "http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?state=$state&zip=$zip&zoom=5">MAP</a>';

That should, in theroy, work. The way I would do it would simply be:

echo "<a href = \"http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?state=$state&zip=$zip&zoom=5\">MAP</a>";

Are you sure your $state and $zip variables have values? Put this in for debugging:

echo "<pre>";
var_dump(get_defined_vars());
echo "</pre>";

That will spit out all the defined variables within the script you are running.
