This may or may not help, but here's a few things to note: 1) I would avoid placing variable output in double quoted strings. While not important for smaller scripts, doing a large number of outputs like this causes a decent performance hit. In fact, I wouldn't use double quotes ever in php. Instead, strive for something like: echo '<b><a href="test.php?term='.$letter_value.'">'.$letter_value.' </a></b>'; for your anchor statement. This translates to echo '<b><a href="test.php?term='.$letter_value.'&type='.$type_value.'">'.$letter_value.' </a></b>'; for your second one. 2) If you didn't notice above, I replaced your & with the html entity equivalent &. I did this because I'm pretty stubborn when it comes to trying to keep things as close to strict following of the xhtml 1.0+ standards as I can. If the URL still isn't working after that update, you have some more options: 1) First, I would double check that both variables have a value coming into that block of code. Output them before you create the url. 2) Then, I would isolate the url itself and see if you can print that out before putting it in the anchor statement. Something like: $url = 'test.php?term='.$letter_value.'&type='.$type_value; If you can echo that out, try putting that value back into the anchor: echo '<a href="'.$url.'">'.$letter_value.'</a>'; 3) If that doesn't work, try just passing the second value that wasn't working before. If none of that works, double check the spelling of all variables and possibly start attempting to typecast the values appropriately. I have a feeling, though, it won't make it this far and by doing one of the above you will notice things start working or the mistake you made.
