I might not be looking in the right place, but I can't seem to fiind what I need anywhere. I have a php script that looks up user information from a ldap database from information that is taken from a login form. Right now I just have the information to display on the screen and that part works fine ( the display is just for testing) What I am needing to do is to take some of the strings and put them into a url something like http://www.page.html?username=xxxxxx...tion=xxxxxxxxx. I have the data in $username and $location. I have done this before with a A href, but that required clicking on a link. This php script needs to redirect to the next page as soon as the information is located. When I tried to do this with header("location:www.page.html?username=$username& location=$location") the url did not have the data in it. I just got: www.page.html?username=$username&location=$locatio n. What command do I need to use?
I tried to search every way that I could think of and am not making any progress at all. If it can be done I know that one of the good experts here will know how to do it.
Thanks

Check to make sure the string inside your header function is wrapped in double quotes, not single quotes.

Also, are you sure you are populating $username and $password? Try echoing them first to see if they contain any actual data

Give the following a try:

<?php
//code to resolve username / and location here

$newUrl = "www.page.html?username=".$username."&location=".$ location;
header("location:".$newUrl);

?>

Thanks a lot for the help. I had tried what Zedd had suggested already, but I had used single quotes and it did not work. It was the double quotes. Again thanks for the help.
