how to pass php variables through url

Question

I need to pass a php variable using url to use it in the php code of redirected url. The code which I am using for displaying links of users and passing username of clicked link through url is as follows: (I am just using same page, "view.php" when any of the links is clicked for trial)

 while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($res)) { ?> <a href="http://localhost/profileviews/view.php?name=' . $row['username'] . '"><?php echo $row['username']; ?></a> <?php }

The code to retrieve variable value in view.php is as follows:

 $name=$_GET['name']; echo $name;

But what is being displayed in view.php page after clicking a link is not the name of user, but just ' . $row['username'] . ' Is anything wrong with the syntax I've used for passing php varaible $row['username'] ? Please help me out! I am new to php.

Try this:

<?php

    {
?>
     <a href="http://localhost/profileviews/view.php?name=<?php echo $row["username"]; ?>"><?php echo $row['username']; ?></a>

Try this code:

while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($res))
{
    echo'<a href="http://localhost/profileviews/view.php?name='.$row['username'].'">'.$row['username'].'</a>';
}

Answer 3

For simplicity:

while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($res))
{
    $username = $row['username'];
    echo "<a href='http://localhost/profileviews/view.php?name=$username'>$username</a>";
}

If you don't want variable declaration:

echo '<a href="http://localhost/profileviews/view.php?name='.$row['username'].'">'.$row['username'].'</a>';

Answer 4

尝试这个：

<a href="http://localhost/profileviews/view.php?name= <?php echo $row['username']; ?> . "><?php echo $row['username']; ?></a>
