passing variable in links URL

lukeurtnowski

OK, here's what im doing, 1st I generate a random number and store that number in a variable ($random), Thatt works good. Now, Im trying to make a link on that page that will append the ramdom number ($random) so that page will have that variable. thank you, here's some code to give you an idea
<a href="mission.php?random=$random" .....>

Looks like you nailed it on the head with

Is this not working or something?

Just a sec, is it ok if the variable random is defined at thee beginning of the page

LordShryku

yeah....

You really should just test it. I don't see anything wrong...

here is what I use to define the variable in the <body>

<?php 
$random = (rand()%7);

?>

is this right?

stolzyboy

sure that will work as long as you have it before you output the <a href=page.php?random=$random> part

<?php  

$random = (rand()%7); 
echo "<a href=\"mission.php?random=$random\"> doot</a>";
?>
