incremental links adding to uri

I have links that display dates, incremented from one value up to
another. When I click on each link though, it adds the value to the
url. This is a snippet of the code:

for ($i=$first_year; $i<=$last_year; $i++)
{
echo ''.$first_yea r.' td>';
$first_year++;
}

The first time the link will be correct, then the second time it will
add ?year=2008 or whatever the value it to the uri. How can I make it
so that it doesn't keep adding to it, but replaces it?

Do you really have a reason to include $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] in the
link URL? In other words, are there parameters besides "year" that
you need to keep? If not, getting rid of $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] will
solve your problem.

Yes, because this code is in a function that is used in multiple pages.

I was mistaken. I didn't need the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']. Thanks.
