title: PHP Pass variable through URL using ?object=value
body: <p>I know there's a bunch of these topics out there, but all the answers are simply not working for me. I've tried everything I could find, and I'm still right where I started. I'm trying to pass a variable through a URL:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="test2.php?one="&lt;?php echo $_GET['one']; ?&gt;"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When clicking on the "link", it redirects me to the appropriate page (test2.php), but leaves the value blank (resulting in localhost/test2.php?one=). This means I can no longer see what variable was being sent.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$one = $_GET['one'];
  echo $one;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I properly send the variable from test.php to test2.php?</p>
