Help passing variables to other php pages

Hello, I am trying to write a script to pass the value of the variable $cost
to buy.php but I keep getting a parse error. Here is an example of what I am
trying to do:

$cost=5.45

echo "<Form Action="buy.php?Price=$cost" METHOD="POST">";

Hope someone can help

Thanks

echo "<Form Action=\"buy.php?Price=$cost\" METHOD=\"POST\">";

Add escape chars.

Some ideas:

echo "<Form Action=\"buy.php?Price=$cost\" METHOD=\"POST\">";

echo '<Form Action="buy.php?Price='.urlencode($cost).'" METHOD="POST">';

echo '<Form Action="buy.php" METHOD="POST">';
echo '<input type="hidden" name="Price" value="'.$cost.'">';

Dont mess about with escaping your quotes (\") it makes the code messy
(IMHO) - try this instead:

echo "<Form Action='buy.php?Price=$cost' METHOD='POST'>";

Hope this helps

sorry if this is below your level of intelligence, but i made thi
mistake when i was JUST beginning to deal witht the whole variable i
the URL stuff. Course, that was about 3 hours ago :P

anyways, make sure that the form is in a .php file, if its in an htm
file in wont work
