I would recommend that you use the $_POST['somevar'] or respective the
$_GET['somevar'] vars to read your parameter from the header. Of course,
Tyrone sample is good and work perfekt, but also if you start php coding,
learn how to use parmeter in a more secure way.

You can build a link to parse a varialbe to your page:

echo '<a href="test.php?var=' . $value . '">sent var</a>';
if (issset($_GET['var']))
echo $_GET['var'];
