Html And Php Concatenation In Url String

Whats wrong with this HTML / PHP - just doesnt look right - Is there a better way to concatenate html and php variables into url string ??? $id . '&mov=' . $mov . '">Click here to delete</a>' //or echo"<a href='movie_night_del.php?id={$id}&mov={$mov}'>Click here to delete</a>" //or escaping " echo "<a href=\"movie_night_del.php?id={$id}&mov={$mov}\">Click here to delete</a>"

Solution 2:

As mentioned in the comments, there is nothing wrong doing it like that but your values could break the query string if they contain characters that need to be encoded.

For example the & and the = have special meanings, so if they could appear in your variable values, they would break the query string.

You can escape individual values using:

... &mov=<?phpecho urlencode($mov) ?> ....

Or you could have php build and encode your string automatically using http_build_query:

$data = array(
  'id' => $id,
  'mov' => $mov
);
$url = 'movie_night_del.php?' . http_build_query($data);

Perhaps the last option is what you were looking for.
