This is the first time I've worked with a more interactive script and I'm not sure how to go about it. The script in short is an email verification script where the script takes an email address, mails them a unique url and waits for them to click it to finish processing. I can send the unique ID for verification but how do I make the link so it works like www.page.com/evs/evs.pl?account=$ID ? I've never used ?...$'s before.

Thanks for any and all help!
