Hi -

Superficially, it looks OK.

Strong suggestion:
1. Look at this link (it has some extra syntax that might be applicable here):
http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/wi...variables.aspx

2. For debugging purposes, "echo" each of your _$GET variables

Code:

<?php
  // NOTE: for debugging *only*!  Do *NOT* use in production code!
  print(’<pre>’);
  print_r($_GET);
  print(’</pre>’);
?>

'Hope that helps ... and let us know what you find!

<?php
header( "Location:
http://domain.com/register.asp?code1="99999"&code2="888888");
?>

When i hardcode the number it works. i also did echo to all the variable and they show right numbers. Weird problem.
i even the command below to goto that page directly it goes to that page but environment variables are not transferred.

<?php
header( "Location:
http://domain.com/register.asp");
?>

Any help will greatly be appreciated

The question remains: does the HTTP session executing your PHP script happen to *have* a "GET" variable named "code1"? And if so, can you successfully access it via the PHP "$_GET[]" variable array?

The "$_GET[]", of course, refers to what you've *got* (not what you're *giving*) ;-)

I do have that variable passing from a form

So why doesn't "$_GET[]" seem to be seeing it? *That's* the question I suggested you try debugging.

Please take a look at the tutorial, please take a look at the "curly brace" syntax, and please try "echo" statements to see if you're correctly getting *any* of your "GET" variables.

And, of course, double-check your URL to make sure the "GET" is there in the first place ;-)

Please post back what you find .. PSM

it was syntax. Code change {} below did it.

Thanks alot

header( "Location:
http://domain.com/register.asp?code1={$_GET['code1']}&code2={$_GET['code2']}");
