PHP in HTML HREF not working
Question
I am opening "email.php" inside of another php file. "email.php" generates a random code to be nested into a hyperlink, but the randomly generated code is not being inserted. Instead, the literal string is being sent. The function randomCodeGenerator works and is in the util2.php file.
<?php
require_once "inc/util2.php";
?>

<head></head>
<body>
<?php
$code = randomCodeGenerator(50);
?>

try to alter the way you are adding the code, something like:
$code = randomCodeGenerator(50);
$url = "http://corsair.cs.iupui.edu:21221/upload/lab2/validateLab2.php?a=".$code;
and finally ;
<a href='<?php echo $url;?'>

The file_get_contents just pulls the contents of the file and stores it to a variable. That bypasses the PHP processor, use the web server to process the file and then you will get the results. eg
file_get_contents('http://yourscript.php');
instead of:
file_get_contents('/local/yourscript.php');
