[SOLVED] Get Variables

[TheFilmGod]

I want to transfer a variable to the next page. Here is the code:

First Page:

$page="1";
<a href="fav.php?page=$page">I like it!</a>

 

Second Page, (retrieves the variable)

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

close... but you have to go back into PHP when inserting your variable into the HTML

 

<?php
$page="1";
?>
<a href="fav.php?page=<?=$page;?>">I like it!</a>

 

(the syntax highlighter here doesn't like the <?= tag)

I was informed by a higher power that the <?= is being depreciated I would do this:

 

<?php
$page="1";
?>
<a href="fav.php?page=<?php print $page; ?>">I like it!</a>

It worked! I'm going to stick with "<?php" as this is the safe way to go! Thanks for the help!
