wp-admin/this.php?page=that.php?action=some&thing=5
So… your variables are:
page = ‘that.php?action=some’
thing = ‘5’
Somehow, I don’t think that was what you wanted.
You can’t include a second question mark in a URL like that. Are you trying to pass query variables to that.php? If so, then you’ll need to have this.php recognize and pass along those query variables itself.
Yeah, I typo’d.
pages added to wp-admin typically are added as subpages, ie, like so:
.../wp-admin/options-general.php?page=thing.php
where thing.php is the added plugin page, and options-general.php is the parent page.
My variables are action=some AND thing=5 and I need those to be sent to this.php which is a child of a regular admin page.
The url ends up being like this:
...wp-admin/parent.php?page=child.php?action=somet&thing=1
but hmm.. the second question mark .. I just read that. 🙂
Lets go see 🙂

that was it, thank you Otto! Ive been working on this thing for way too long.
Again, you can’t do that. You cannot include a second question mark in the URL.
Do it like this instead.
/wp-admin/parent.php?page=child.php&action=somet&thing=1
The parent.php is not redirecting you to child.php. Child.php is being loaded by parent.php. This makes all the difference.
Edit: I see your edit. Glad it works. 🙂
