Passing parameters

Hi,

I wrote the following php script :

<? echo $myvar; ?>


then i open IE and i give the adress :
http://localhost/Myscript.php?myvar=test


This returns the following error :
Notice: Undefined variable: myvar in c:\program
files\easyphp1-8\www\test.php on line 3

I thought that "myvar" should be known by the script because i send it
through the URL. But it does not work. Do you know why ?

Thanks a lot for your help
