URL variables

[saltious]

Hi.

i know im coding it right so the problem must be a setting or something.

does anyone know of any reason why URL variables might not work?

i do the following

echo ("<a href=\"adminedit.php?$passvar\">Update Call</a>");

however when i enter $searchid = $_GET['passvar']; in adminedit.php i just get an undefined vatriable. the variable appears on the address bar, but it does not get picked up by my code?

any ideas?

many thanks.

You probably wanted it to be a name/value pair, e.g.,

echo "<a href=\"adminedit.php?passvar=$passvar\">Update Call</a>";

or more accurately:

echo '<a href="adminedit.php?passvar=' . urlencode($passvar) . '">Update Call</a>';
