Integrate javascript var value into redirect

Question

From a php script I'm returning 3 values : all are transitioning over without any difficulty.

if(data.code == 600){
                            var PNRRef = data.locator;
                            var Lname = data.lname;

What I am trying to do is use these two var values in my redirect link and can't seem to figure it out :

window.location.href = '/US/en/local/res/MyReservation.php?PNRRef="PNRRef"&Lname="Lname"';

But it's not outputting correctly... Would anyone have a tip about how to integrate these ?

Thanks!

because you are not doing string concatenation, Those " quotes are doing nothing. — epascarello

take care of the variables encoding when replaced in the uri, check below, this saved me a lot of time ;) — loretoparisi

You need either to concatenate:

window.location.href = '/US/en/local/res/MyReservation.php?PNRRef=' + PNRRef + '&Lname=' + Lname;

or use Template literals (also called String interpolation)

window.location.href = `/US/en/local/res/MyReservation.php?PNRRef=${PNRRef}&Lname=${Lname}`;

Those variables need to be encoded (encodeURIComponent(...)) before to make any request like ajax.

Probably template literals can be the solution for your issue.Instead of this:

window.location.href = '/US/en/local/res/MyReservation.php?PNRRef="PNRRef"&Lname="Lname"';

Use this:

window.location.href = `/US/en/local/res/MyReservation.php?PNRRef=${PNRRef}&Lname=${Lname}`;

I would go for a simpler solution (string concatenation) that always works

window.location.href = '/US/en/local/res/MyReservation.php?PNRRef='+encodeURIComponent(PNRRef)+'&Lname='+encodeURIComponent(Lname);

If you want to use a better URI encoding compliant to RFC3986 please use rfc3986EncodeURIComponent instead of encodeURIComponent:

function rfc3986EncodeURIComponent (str) {  
   return encodeURIComponent(str).replace(/[!'()*]/g, escape);  
}
