just put    a  Link1    b  Link2     in your pass php and you will get your answer and do a double quotation in your link php    echo   lt a href  pass php link      a      gt Link 1 lt  a gt

All the above answers are correct  but I noticed something very important  Leaving a space between the variable and the equal sign might result in a problem  For example    variablename  value

You re passing link  a and link  b in the hrefs for A and B  respectively  They are treated as strings  not variables  The following should fix that for you   echo   lt a href  pass php link      a      gt Link 1 lt  a gt        and  echo   lt a href  pass php link      b      gt Link 2 lt  a gt      The value of  a also isn t included on pass php  I would suggest making a common variable file and include it on all necessary pages

I found this solution in  Super useful bits of PHP  Form and JavaScript code  at Skytopia   Inside  page1 php  or  page1 html       Send the variables myNumber 1 and myFruit  orange  to the new PHP page     lt a href  page2c php myNumber 1 amp myFruit orange  gt Send variables via URL  lt  a gt          or as I needed it       lt a href  page2c php myNumber   row 0   amp myFruit   row 1    gt Send variables lt  a gt    Inside  page2c php     lt  php        Retrieve the URL variables  using PHP        num     GET  myNumber         fruit     GET  myFruit        echo  Number     num    Fruit     fruit    gt

In your link php your echo statement must be like this   echo   lt a href  pass php link      a     gt Link 1 lt  a gt    echo   lt a href  pass php link      b      gt Link 2 lt  a gt      Then in your pass php you cannot use  a because it was not initialized with your intended string value   You can directly compare it to a string like this   if   GET  link       Link1     Another way is to initialize the variable first to the same thing you did with link php  And  a much better way is to include the  a and  b variables in a single PHP file  then include that in all pages where you are going to use those variables as Tim Cooper mention on his post  You can also include this in a session
