ok guys here is what i want to do. I am passing information that is not safety critical from one page to another and I want to do that in the URL and use the GET function to get the information out. the problem is that the information that I want to put in the URL changes evry day because it is a date and so what I want to do is have a variable say $x and put that in the url but it is not working right. here is the code

$x="2004-10-02";
<a herf="yestpicks.php?y=$x"></a>

I have put single quotes around $x and double quotes but nothing seems to work all i get on the other side when i say

$yr=$_GET['y'];

is $x which of course is not what i want. I am using PHP but this is a HTML/FORM/URL problem. any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
