Re: forward variable info via header()

I pass variables after the ? part in the URL to my header() all day long, and no problems, I would suggest doing all the urlencode()'ing first into variables and then building the string.. $branch_cd = urlencode($branch_cd); $name = urlencode($name); .... . . $info = "branch_cd=$branch_cd&name=$name"; header("Location somepage.html?$info"); should now work...also it looks like you are using a comma as your string concatenation operator, the correct operator is a period (.) $myname = "firstname = " . $firstname; good luck /cody Bennett wrote: > Hello folks, > > I'm a PHP newbie trying to figure one last piece of a > project that I've been working on this summer. > > I'm trying to use php to forward information collected from > previous pages to a new page by way of a .php file using the > header function like this: > > Header("Location: newpage.html"); > > but, I have a lot of info I'd like to pass along with it.
