I remember having met interpolation trouble with such code bits as ...passtest.php?i=".$i."\"/... in echo "<a href=\"passtest.php?i=".$i."\"/>Press to continue</a>";
What I do now is write it this way: echo "<a href='passtest.php?i={$i}'>Press to continue</a>"; And everything works fine. This has the additional advantage of clarity. BTW, you have an erroneous slash at the end of your opening <A> HTH Ignatius ____________________________________________ "db" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > i've seen a lot of posts about this, but none helped. i've broken the script > down to its simplest components and still no luck. > > <?php > > IF(!isset($_get['i'])) { > > $i = 1; > > } > > echo $i."<BR>"; > > $i++; > > echo "<a href=\"passtest.php?i=".$i."\"/>Press to continue</a>"; > > ?> > > i've tried using empty(), $_post['i'] and $i, but none will work. i've been > trying to pass the variable back to the page itself so that $i keeps > increasing by 1 with each click. not that there's a use for this other than > my figuring out how to use it. > > any thoughts? > > btw, i'm running Apache v1.3.26 w/ php v4.2.3 / MySQL v3.23.52 on a Win2kPro > (SP3) machine. > > thx! > > > > > --- > Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > Version: 6.0.394 / Virus Database: 224 - Release Date: 10/3/2002 > > > > -- > PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
