Hi all,

I'm having trouble using variables.

If I create a PHP file and define the variables within it (e.g. $name =
"Bob";) and then ask the same file to ouput the variable as part of an echo
command (e.g. echo( "Hello, $name");  ), it works fine.

The problem comes when I try to link to a PHP file from an HTML file (e.g.
<A HREF="name.php?name=Bob"> I am Bob </A>.  Instead of displaying the
sentence as defined in the PHP file (e.g. echo( "Hello, $name");  ), I get
the following error message:

Notice: Undefined variable: name in e:\xxx\name.php on line 43

Does anyone know what the problem might be?  I've tried writing the code in
a number of different ways but with the same result.  Could it be that my
PHP or IIS server settings are not quite right?

Many thanks for any help!
Dylan.
