Greetings all!
I'm working on a PHP project and we've got to use the GET function and throw values using the URL.
My question is thus:
Can you use variables declared in the php to populate the values on URL?
Example:
$Variablename1 = 20 * $othervariable
<a href="random.php?throwvalue=$Variablename1">
Something like that?
Then I just make a GET command for throwvalue?
If its possible, whats the syntax? I've experimented but come up with nothing.
Thanks in advance!

<a href="random.php?throwvalue=<?=$Variablename1>">
Should work.
Fixed that for you.
OP: You should probably come up with some sort of standard for variable names (eg camelCase).
NINJA EDIT: You might want to take a look at url encode, depending on what the values of the variables are.
Technically, the following will work just fine:
<?= ... > is a short tag that will be interpreted as <?php echo ... > But short_open_tag must be enabled in php.ini. It's generally good practice to always write out your opening php tags instead of using the short open tag. It allows for maximum compatibility in case a server has short_open_tag turned off.
