vb.org Archive - Passing Variables to second page?

I am working my way through the tutorial ([HOW TO - vB4] Create your own vBulletin page ) by Lynne and need to know how I can create a page that can accept a variable in the link such as:

Code:

<a href="videodisplay.php?videolink=video433.flv">Link to video 433</a>

So in the example below, I need to have the video Chad.flv swapped for whatever file is linked in the href

I am using the most basic of pages with the following as the style :

Code:

{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}" id="vbulletin_html">

  <head>

    <title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle} - {vb:raw pagetitle}</title>

    {vb:raw headinclude}

    {vb:raw headinclude_bottom}

   </head>

  <body>

    

    {vb:raw header}

    

    {vb:raw navbar}

    

    <div id="pagetitle">

      <h1>{vb:raw pagetitle}</h1>

    </div>

    

    <h2 class="blockhead">Title</h2>

    <div class="blockbody">

      <div class="blockrow">

        Text

<object classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' width='470' height='320' id='video1' name='video1'>

<param name='allowscriptaccess' value='always'>

<param name='wmode' value='transparent'>

<param name='flashvars' value='streamer=rtmp://coursesaver.com:1935/Chad&amp;file=Chad.flv&amp;provider=rtmp'>

<embed

  id='video2'

  name='video2'

  src='http://www.coursesaver.com/jw/player.swf'

  width='470'

  height='320'

  bgcolor='#000000'

  allowscriptaccess='always'

  allowfullscreen='true'

  flashvars=' value="streamer=rtmp://coursesaver.com:1935/Chad&amp;file=Chad.flv&amp;provider=rtmp'

/></object>
