Advanced URL in $html_string

Question

Ok, so right now I've got this URL, which works perfectly:

$html_string = file_get_contents('https://www.123.com/' . $_GET["ticket"]);

What I want to do is to insert $_GET between the URL.

Here's what I mean:

('https://www.123.com/' . $_GET["ticket"] /url-continues-here);

I have tried everything, but can't find any solution how to do it without an error.

You can find examples [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5605965/php-concatenate-or-directly-insert-variables-in-string). — El_Vanja, Jan 25 '21 at 09:23
I'm new to this, could you please write a simple code? That would be awesome. — RaymondM, Jan 25 '21 at 09:26
Please read through the linked question. There are multiple examples dealing with a variable being inserted between two pieces of string. — El_Vanja, Jan 25 '21 at 09:39

Concatenate the 2 strings first and after that use file_get_contents()

$html_string = 'https://www.123.com/' . $_GET["ticket"] . '/url-continues-here';
file_get_content($html_string);

You have merely re-used the code that the question author explicitly says *works*. – El_Vanja Jan 25 '21 at 09:30
The OP just has to concatenate the different parts of the url in string and then use `file_get_content()` instead of trying to do it as the function argument – manqlele Jan 25 '21 at 09:36
That is outright wrong. Expressions can be passed as function parameters (unless passed by reference, which isn't the case with `file_get_contents`). – El_Vanja Jan 25 '21 at 09:38
I am not saying the can't be passed, I am saying that it will be clearer if he does it this way, and there is a less chance for mistake – manqlele Jan 25 '21 at 09:45
"Clearer" is subjective and suggestions don't make suitable answers - they're better off as comments. Besides, your answer does not read as suggestion to make things clearer, it reads as though the issue was in directly passing the concatenated url. – El_Vanja Jan 25 '21 at 13:18
