Insert PHP variable in external link

The link works perfectly fine internally on the domain, just won't work for an external website. Didn't see anything in the documentation. I provided an example below. Would appreciate some insight. 

<?php $user = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);?>

<a href="https://www.externaldomain.com/secure/cart/addItem.aspx?qty=1&itID=9135&PromoID=83&uid=<?php echo $user->username ?>">
Solution

  • Based on you comment, you must have a page url like page.php?ID=userid and you want something like this: {externalpage.com/page.php}?uid=userid

    Try:

    <a href="https://www.externaldomain.com/secure/cart/addItem.aspx?qty=1&itID=9135&PromoID=83&uid=<?php echo $_GET["ID"]; ?>">

    Edit

    Based on your last comment, try this:

    <?php $user = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);?>
<a href="https://www.externaldomain.com/secure/cart/addItem.aspx?qty=1&itID=9135&PromoID=83&uid=<?php echo $user; ?>">
