Value for entire file

[Uma Shankari T.]

Hello,

I am facing one problem..i am getting one variable value from another
file by using href..I need to use that value in the entire file..how can i
do that..??

for example i am using the href like this..

<a href=$next/index.php?year=Apr1998 target=right>

i am passing the Apr1998 to the index file..i need to use the Apr1998
value fully in any places in index.php..how can i use that ??

please advice me..

it should be in the $_GET or $HTTP_GET_VARS array in the index.php script.
put this at the top of your index.php script

var_dump ($_GET); # or $HTTP_GET_VARS depending on PHP version

and see if the value is there. Also, if you are using the value in a
function and you have PHP < 4.1.0 (I think), GET array is not global so to
get this value you have to declare the array global
example

function some_function () {
global $_GET;
echo $_GET['year'];
}

NOT

function some_function () {
echo $_GET['year'];
}
