header('Refresh') Question

[james0816]

when using the refresh....is it possible to pass a variable in the url that you are passing?

I.e.
$a1='test';
header('Refresh: 5; URL=test2.php?var1=$a1');

i get to the next page but the var1 is empty.

It may be your use of quotes.

In this line:

header('Refresh: 5; URL=test2.php?var1=$a1');

You use a variable reference inside singlequotes. But variables are not interpolated inside singlequotes.
