[RESOLVED] Passing parameter problem

I'm having a simple problem here.
Here is a simple file test.php

<html>
<head>
<title>Parameter</title>
</head>
<body>
     <?php echo "My Name is " . $name . "\n"; ?>
</body>
</html>

When i try to load the file with iexplorer ---->

--->http://localhost/test.php?name=Gregory
I get the text My Name is
but not Gregory.

I'm running Apache2 and my php worked fine untill this.

Could you help me please ?
Thanks

You should always use GET and POST for variables:

<?php echo "My Name is " . $_GET['name'] . "\n"; ?>

And by the way, \n does not make a new row in the webpage, only in the source file. You should use <br /> instead.

That worked

Thanks piranha
