How does one script call another?
<p>Suppose you have access to a script which will print or echo an ID string, given a name string, i.e., something like:<br>
<a href="http://www.example.com/script.php?name=aNameString" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/script.php?name=aNameString</a> <br> 
outputing an ID string.</p>

<p>I want to create a script which will allow me to retrieve anIDString, given that I already have a variable holding aNameString, i.e., something like this pseudocode:<br>
$name="Homer Simpson";<br>
$id='www.example.com/script.php?name=$name';</p>

<p>Can you help me understand how I'd do this? ... Thanks, as always!</p>
