Hi there. I am trying to create a simple PHP program using the following code:

<?php
    $myfavmovie = urlencode(Madagascar);

  echo "<a href='moviesite.php?favmovie=$myfavmovie'>";
  echo "Click here to see information about my favorite movie!";
  echo "</a>";
?>

I have a page that this is linked to - which seems to work fine, but when I change the value of "$myfavmovie" to anything else, "Madagascar" continues to show up. Are variables completely static within a page such that I cannot change them once I have assigned a value to it? That doesn't seem to me to be correct...

Here is the code on the subsequent page to which this is linked in case that matters...

<?php

echo "My favorite movie is ";
echo $_REQUEST['favmovie'];

?>

I am much obliged.

I've tried your code and it works fine..

If you change the value of $myfavmovie in the 1st file (save and press refresh on your browser) it does change the value in the second (when you click the link).. I don't undertand where the problem is ??
