using variables in a header(location: 'url?value=$value)

[pedalpete]

I thought this should be simple, but i can't seem to get it to work.

I'm trying to do a simple redirect to a page, but need to pass a variable.
I've tried a few things, but nothing seems to work.

here's what I've tried

		header('Location: edit.php?sid=$sid');
// or
$url = "edit.php?sid=$sid";
              	header('Location: $url');

// or
		header('Location: edit.php?sid=\$sid');

and a bunch of other random attempts. but whenever i use a variable, i get an error eg. the page localhost/$url cannot be found.

So that lets me know that the variable is not being filled.

[php]
$url = "edit.php?sid=$ sid";
header("Locatio n: ".$url);
[/php]

Does that work?

[pedalpete]

of course that works...

i had tried all sorts of quotes and dashes, but kept getting errors.

Thanks

Was that sarcasm or does it actually work?

header('Location: edit.php?sid=$sid');
// or
$url = "edit.php?sid=$sid";
              	header('Location: $url');

// or
		header('Location: edit.php?sid=\$sid');

When a string is specified in double quotes, variables are parsed within it. But this is not the case with single quotes.

Please help!

[php]
$url = "edit.php?sid=$ sid";
header("Locatio n: ".$url);
[/php]

Yes this is working fine... I was searching for this

PLEASE TELL ME!!
How do I use content-dispostion with variables instead of location??
The above codings are showing location with variable..
I would like to know the usage of content-disposition with a variable instead of this location

[Markus]

Just use the same logic.. keep the variables in double quotes.
[php]
<?php
/** Define Variables **/
$_Download = "somefile.j pg";
$_Download_Type = "image/jpeg";

/** Set first header: Type. **/
header("Content-type: " . $_Download_Type );

/** Second header: Filname. **/
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='".$_D ownload."');

?>
[/php]
Hope this helps
