Use PHP GET Method in URL?

Question

I have index.php?stol=XY. Now I want to open gotovo.php with same 'stol' like in index.php. This is my code:

<a href="<?php "gotovo.php?stol=".$_GET['stol'] ?>">Link1</a>

What am I doing wrong?

You're missing an echo but there are a couple of other points to consider too. 1. You should use [`urlencode`][1] to prevent [XSS][2] attacks. 2. You will generate an E_NOTICE if $_GET['stol'] is not defined Try this: Link1 [1]: http://php.net/urlencode [2]: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Cross-site_Scripting_%28XSS%29 — Andrew Mackrodt, Feb 16 '14 at 12:48
Thanks. I know that, but I don't need [urlencode] because $_GET['stol'] will always be defined. — Karlo Sintic, Feb 16 '14 at 12:53
