Question

var frank_param = gup( 'frank' );
var pageURL = encodeURIComponent("directory_doctor_page.php?DoctorID=23"); 

I have those two lines of code I want to replace the 23 with the var frank.
How will I accomplish this?

Thanks

You can concatenate both like this:

var pageURL = encodeURIComponent("directory_doctor_page.php?DoctorID=" + frank_param); 

Extract from mozilla’s JS documentation on String operators:

In addition to the comparison operators, which can be used on string
values, the concatenation operator (+) concatenates two string values
together, returning another string that is the union of the two
operand strings. For example, “my ” + “string” returns the string “my
string”.

The shorthand assignment operator += can also be used to concatenate
strings. For example, if the variable mystring has the value “alpha”,
then the expression mystring += “bet” evaluates to “alphabet” and
assigns this value to mystring.
