[SOLVED] Call file with variable

[carbide20]

Hi,

 

I'm new to php - basically I'm trying to call a php file and pass it a variable.

 

like if this was test.php:

 

$var1;

echo $var1;

 

 

and I was trying to call that in an html file somewhat like this and pass it $var1:

 

<a href="test.php?$var1='hello'>pass hello to test.php</a>

 

 

 

how might I go about doing that?

you have to use GET variables

 

eg..

teng.php?x=cool
echo $_GET['x']; // give you cool
