[Resolved] Sending 2 variables from an a href

[cosmo_b]

Hi all,
I need to send 2 variables from an a href link to a 2nd php page. the first message relates to an xml file

echo "<p><a href=\"show_article.php?article_type=$article_type\">$article_type</a><br>$abstract</p>";

The second message i need to send relates to the page formating.

show_article.php?theme=$style

i need the 2nd page to display the info in the xml but also retain the formatting. Formattinf is being generated from a from on the very first page. But as this is a link and i need to send two variables i am lost.
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers

on the first page

echo "<p><a href=\"show_article.php?article_type=$article_type\">$article_type</a><br>$abstract</p>"; 

on show_article.php

$article_type = $_GET['article_type'];

cheers for the quick response,
i have the articles displaying fine, its the formatting i need to send.
I cant figure out how to ad the second variable
show_article.php?theme=$style
to the href. i need the a href to do things at once basically.

oh right - just seperate with an &

on the first page

echo "<p><a href=\"show_article.php?article_type=$article_type&theme=$style\">$article_type</a><br>$abstract</p>";

on show_article.php

$article_type = $_GET['article_type'];
$theme = $_GET['theme'];
