Var problem ...

[Web seller]

Hi,

Can anyone explain me why this works?

$buf =
SendToHost('sho p.mcdos.nl','ge t','/control/productdetails? item_id=9219844 &search.x=11&se arch.y=6',
$Cookie,'userna me=login&passwo rd=password&sub mit.x=24&submit .y=8n');

While this doesn't ?

$number=9219844 ;
$buf =
SendToHost('sho p.mcdos.nl','ge t','/control/productdetails? item_id=$number &search.x=11&se arch.y=6',
$Cookie,'userna me=login&passwo rd=password&sub mit.x=24&submit .y=8n');

Thanx.

Yes. In the first peiece of code you transfer 9219844 as the value for
the parameter item_id. In the second piece of code you transfer the
string '$number' as the value. Please read the documentation and find
the difference between single and double quotes.
