Can I include a dynamic variable in the URL?

[ukmojo]

I want to pass a variable into the URL string. I'm using PHP.

This will give an idea of what I need:
aI("text=Made to order;url=displaysense_fr_outer.php?mcatid=bespoke&ref=<?php echo $mref;?>;status=Displays made to order;");

I know this won't work but it illustrates the URL I need to construct i.e. to include the $mref variable in the URL.

Can this be achieved somehow?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

That SHOULD work in a page actually. If your server supports PHP and you are in a .php page, the server will first parse through the file and put into those variables whatever you want and then send it down to the client. Once its at the client, it will appear like perfectly formed syntax (as long as the variable you echo'd into that spot doesnt contain any stray quotation marks and the like). But overall thats the way you would create dynamic links in the menu code using server side scripting.
