window.location.reload

im have this small piece of php code where it simply reloads the pageand changes th eid room but must keep the username the same.

the file checkuser.php passes the $username variable to login_success.php

this piece of code is in login_success.php

<SCRIPT>
var enablecookies="<?php echo $_REQUEST['on'] ?>";
var enablemenu="no";
var roomID = '<?php echo $roomID ?>';
var width = 600;
var height = 360;
var name = '<?php echo $username ?>';
var mode = 0;
</script>

function Room1()
{
window.location.reload('login_success.php?roomID=961&username=$username');
}


The code above works for the roomID but the username always changes, it must be the value from '<?php echo $username ?>' but i am not sure how to keep it constant.

window.location.reload('login_success.php?roomID=961&username=$username');


you can't have the above in PHP. enclosing any variables inside single quotations, treats the entire thing as a string and therefore the variable doesn't get parsed.

you should use double quotes like this instead:

window.location.reload("login_success.php?roomID=961&username=$username");

or even like so:

window.location.reload('login_success.php?roomID=961&username='.$username);

ok the code that seems to half work is this, the username remains the same and so does the roomID.

function Room1()
{
window.location.reload('login_success.php?roomID=962&username='.$username);

}

But that code has one problem the roomID does not change it always stays at 961, i needed the roomID to change. However if i was to right it like this

window.location.reload('login_success.php?roomID=962&username=.$username');

Then the roomID changes and so does the username but the username must remain constant.
