Right,

I have a contact form,

There is a subject textbox on it and i have put the value as

<?php $_GET['subject']; ?>

now on the link to my contact page i have put ?page=contact&subject=Blog

I thought the &subject=Blog would allow the subject text box to be auto filled with "Blog" what have i done wrong?

many thanks
Ben

You need to echo it out.

<?php echo $_GET['subject']; ?>

But sanitise it first.

If your server supports short tags, you can use the <?= and ?> tags.

Sometimes it's not the best cause if you switch servers and the new one doesn't support them, you'd have to change them, but otherwise, they are useful

<?= $_GET['subject'] ?>

Hate to be a contradictor but its generally bad practise to use short tags
