Still just getting my head around PHP/Javascript.

I’m trying to get some values from page 1 to page 2.

On page 1, I have a link:

\<a href=“userdata\_map.php?lat=43.471079&lng=-89.744310”\>Edit This Map\</a\>

On page 2, I have an initialize function that contains this:

var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(parseFloat(\<?php $\_GET[“lat”]; ?\>), parseFloat(\<?php $\_GET[“lng”]; ?\>));

However this doesn’t seem to be working. The source of page 2 just shows this:

var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(parseFloat(), parseFloat());

How do I make this work?

Thanks.
