I'm receiving an 'undefined index' error when calling a new window and I can't quite figure out why. Seems to me like the variable is not being passed, or holds no value, and again I can't figure out why. I use an identical code for 'state' with no issues.
Here is the code:

// Here is the initial page where i pass the variable
$state=$_GET['state'];

$sql="SELECT DISTINCT city FROM users WHERE state='$state' GROUP BY city";
$res=mysql_query($sql);
while($r=mysql_fetch_array($res)){
	$city=$r['city'];?>

	<a href="javascript: void(0)" 
   onclick="window.open('num_users.php?id=<?=$city?>', 
  'windowname3', 
  'width=125, \
   height=500, \
   directories=no, \
   location=no, \
   menubar=no, \
   resizable=no, \
   scrollbars=1, \
   status=no, \
   toolbar=no,'); 
  return false;">
  <?=$city?></a><br />
    <? } ?>

// Here is the page  where I receive the variable
$city=$_GET['city'];

$sql="SELECT id FROM users WHERE city='$city'";
$res=mysql_query($sql);
$num=mysql_num_rows($res);

echo "".$num." users";

?>

Perhaps I've been staring at this thing for too long. I must be overlooking something simple. Any ideas?

You need $_GET instead of $_GET I think.

And there you have it ... LOL. An extra set of eyes always helps. I knew I was overlooking something simple. Thanks Ardav, Problem solved.
