GET values not available when using META redirect

[RogerInHawaii]

Within some PHP code I'm constructing a URL that includes some variables that I want to pass along with the URL. Something like www.MyWebSite.c om/PageTwo.php?Par am1=32. I intend to use this constructed URL within a META tag that will cause it to jump to that page. For example:

echo '<META http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL= www.MyWebSite.c om/PageTwo.php?Par am1=32">';

That works fine. It does indeed jump to that page an dthe parameter is indeed included in the URL when it gets there.

But how then do I retrieve the values I passed? How do I get that Param1=32?
I initially thought that this would constitute something comparable to a GET type of form submit, so that the values would be available via the PHP $_GET function ( e.g. $TheParam = $_GET['Param1'] ) but that doesn't work.

Is there a method for retrieving parameters passed by URL? Or, alternatively, is there a way I can get that META tag to do a GET type submit?

These two php scripts are located at http://localhost/test/meta_and_get/ directory. and i executed the files with the expecting results from the second page. first try them without any other coding in it.

PageOne.php
[CODE=php]
<?php echo '<META http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL= PageTwo.php?Par am1=32">';?>
// I removed full URL path and just put second page name here :)
[/CODE]
PageTwo.php
[CODE=php]
<?php
print 'PageTwo.php get Executed<br>';
$param = $_GET['Param1'];
print 'Param 1 is :'.$param;
?>

[/CODE]

and got this in the screen:
PageTwo.php get Executed
Param 1 is :32

ajaxrand ,

Thanks for trying that out and showing me how to do it.

In my particular case I am trying to send MULTIPLE parameters at the end of the URL. When I try to do that with something like www.ThePage.com ?a=hello?b=good bye

and in the receiving page I do $FirstParemeter = $_GET['a'']. What I receive for $FirstParameter is "hello?b=goodby e". It's not splitting the paremeters. Obviously I'm not formatting that correctly, or not using the correct separator between the multiple parameters. How do I do that correctly?

Oh, I just figured it out. It uses ampersand to separate multiple parameters, not additional question marks.

All is fine now. Thanks for your help.
