[RESOLVED] using my variable

[Coruba67]

Hi guys,

have a silly problem, I have defined a variable as $id, then I am trying to do an onClick on a row using that variable as part of the URL and can't seem to get it to work, with what I have below the URL literally comes up with id=$id

			echo '<tr onmouseover="this.className=\'highlight\'" onMouseOut="this.className=\'normal\'" onClick="window.open(\'feedbackBreakdown.php?feedbacktype=category&id=$id\', \'result\', \'toolbar=no,location=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,width=700,height=500\')"><td>';

Any idea's?

If you enclose your string in single quotes (') then it doesn't bother interpreting $vars in the string. You have to use double quotes for that. try this:

echo '<tr onmouseover="this.className=\'highlight\'" onMouseOut="this.className=\'normal\'" onClick="window.open(\'feedbackBreakdown.php?feedbacktype=category&id=' . $id . '\', \'result\', \'toolbar=no,location=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,width=700,height=500\')"><td>';

 echo '<tr onmouseover="this.className=\'highlight\'" onMouseOut="this.className=\'normal\'" onClick="window.open(\'feedbackBreakdown.php?feedbacktype=category&id='.$id.'\', \'result\', \'toolbar=no,location=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,width=700,height=500\')"><td>';
