Passing variables through links

[swampone]

Im having trouble passing varibles to other pages. I can see that the variable there in the url. localhost/page.php?page=1. The I try to echo the value on page.php  to see that it is working, and all I get is a blank page. What am I missing here?

 

<?php

echo $page;

if the variable is being sent in the URL, you need to use $_GET['variable'] to retrieve it.

i.e.

 

localhost/page.php?page=1

$page = $_GET['page'];
echo $page;

 

you will want to use isset to ensure no notices are returned,

i.e.

localhost/page.php?page=1

if (isset($_GET['page'])
{
$page = $_GET['page'];
echo $page;
}
