Hayes took the soap box and proclaimed: : Hello All, : : Could somebody please help me with this? : : print "Location: :https://secure.whatever.com/business=email\@address.com\&item_name=Product+Name\&item_number=QX000\&amount=$total_amount\&shipping=0.00\&return=https://blah.com/ty.html\n\n";; : : I'm trying to interpolate the $total_amount in the above URL while : escaping the other special characters. I've never tried to do this : before & just can't wrap my ears around it now when I need to.
That is one huge line! I'm going to break it up into sereral lines for readability: print 'Location: https://secure.whatever.com/' . '[EMAIL PROTECTED]&item_name=Product+Name&' . 'item_number=QX000&amount=' . $total_amount . '&' . 'shipping=0.00&return=https://blah.com/ty.html' . "\n\n"; Ok, so it's not very readable but, what I'm doing is concatinating *uninterpolated* strings together and, when there is a variable, I interpolate it explicitly. It's just one way to do it.
