It prints out something like.. 
<b>page 1</b> <a href="urlhere?a=page 1&t=descrption 1">description 1<
+/a><br>

<b>page 2</b> <a href="urlhere?a=page 1&t=descrption 2">description 2<
+/a><br>

<b>page 3</b> <a href="urlhere?a=page 1&t=descrption 3">description 3<
+/a><br>

In the printout, SOMETIMES it fills in the t= param but sometimes not. This is where the problem lies because it doesn't make any sense. If the var $third prints out the text for the link properly (between the A and /A), why doesn't it put that value in the parameter like I need?

For all my hundred or so printouts on the screen, the text for the link ALWAYS works and about 95% of the time the t= url param I'm passing that text to works too, I just need to figure out why it's not always passing the information.
