PHP Echo - How to pass the variable?

[bobbyrabbit]

I wonder if you can help me with my syntax. I'm quite new at PHP so be forgiving.

This is the Javascript URL I am using to open player.php but, of course the rest is a complete mish mash at a first attempt. I 'm not sure how to send the variable within the URL

<a href="javascript:popupWindow('player.php?$mp3filename=[%%GLOBAL_MidiDemoName%%]&title=[%%GLOBAL_ProductName%%]')">
<img src="%%GLOBAL_TPL_PATH%%/images/mp3demo.png" alt="MP3 Demo"></a>

I have the popup window working correctly to player.php and within that URL I need to send the variables, using php echo, I believe:
$mp3filename
$title

in this case I would like

$mp3filename = %%GLOBAL_MidiDemoName%%
$title = %%GLOBAL_ProductName%%

Sorry about the %%fieldname%% format, but thats how the code works!

I have the syntax to receive the the variables at player.php as:

<?php echo $mp3filename;?>
<?php echo $title;?>

I'm tying myself up in knots and just need a bit of help.

Thanks

you just need to do the following modifications

<a href="javascript:popupWindow('player.php?mp3filename=<?php echo $GLOBAL_MidiDemoName;?>&title=<?php echo $GLOBAL_ProductName; ?>')">
<img src="%%GLOBAL_TPL_PATH%%/images/mp3demo.png" alt="MP3 Demo"></a>

get the variables on player.php page as

echo $GET['mp3filename'];
echo $GET['title'];

Replace your achor tag with this

<a href="javascript:popupWindow('player.php?mp3filename=<?php echo $GLOBAL_MidiDemoName;?>&title=<?php echo $GLOBAL_ProductName; ?>')">
<img src="%%GLOBAL_TPL_PATH%%/images/mp3demo.png" alt="MP3 Demo"></a>

and get the variables on player.php page

echo $GET['mp3filename'];
echo $GET['title'];
