You would do something like this:

<a href="page.php?message=hi">Message</a>
 

The text inbetween the <a> tags is not passed, what is passed is after the question mark ("message"), which in this example equals "hi".

And in page.php you would get the message by

<?php
echo $_GET['message'];
?>

Hi.

The suggestion quill posted is probbly the simplest way, which I use quite frequently myself.

There are more complex ways, however, using javascript and / or Ajax.

Just for fun, this a way to complex way to do what you need.
[PHP]
<script language="javascript">

function send_tag(id)
{
// Create form
var form = document.createElement("form");
form.setAttribute("action", "#");
form.setAttribute("method", "post");

// Create element
var elem = document.createElement("input");
elem.setAttribute("type", "hidden");
elem.setAttribute("name", id);
elem.setAttribute("value", document.getElementById(id).innerHTML);

// attach the elements
form.appendChild(elem);
document.body.appendChild(form);

// submit
form.submit();

// Delete the form
document.body.removeElement(form);
}

</script>

<a id="link" href="#" onClick="javascript: send_tag(getAttribute('id'));">I will be passed</a>

<p>
<?php

if(isset($_POST['link']))
{
echo "Passed data = ". $_POST['link'];
}

?>
</p>[/PHP]

It is not working.
page.php does not print anything.

What quill meant is:

<!-- save this as valuepage.php -->
 
<?php
$value = "This is kool, man";
?>
<a href="page.php?message=<?php echo $value; ?>">Message</a>
 
<!-- end of valuepage.php -->
 
<!-- now save this as page.php -->
 
<?php
echo $_GET['message'];
?>
<!-- when clicking on Message, you will get a new page.php 
displaying the $value -->
