changing from PHP_SELF to another file.

[jive]

I have the following code:

// SHOW ARCHIVE LINK
 if ($usearchives == 1 AND !isset($page)) {
  $archivelink = "$PHP_SELF?page=archives";
  eval("\$outputarchive = \"$archive\";");
  echo("$outputarchive"); }
}
// -------------- DISPLAY ARCHIVE LIST --------------
if($page == "archives") {
 echo("<div align='left'><img src="../images/new_archives2.gif"></div><P>"); 
 echo("<h5>$text_archives</h5>");
 $sql = "SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP(date) as formatted_date FROM ashnews_news WHERE $catlist GROUP BY YEAR(date), MONTH(date) ORDER BY date DESC";
 $sql_result = mysql_query($sql, $connection) or die ("$text_noquery - 7"); 
 while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)) {
  $temp = $row['formatted_date'];
  $m = date("m", $temp); 
  $month = date("F", $temp);
  $year = date("Y", $temp);
  $archivelink = "$PHP_SELF?page=showmonth&m=$m&y=$year";
  eval("\$outputarchivelist = \"$archivelist\";");
  echo("$outputarchivelist"); 

now I want to be able to use the archives list in a different template other than self. So I created a new php file called archives1.php and changed the following on this code:

$archivelink = "archive1.php?page=archives"; 

and

$archivelink = "archive1.php?page=showmonth&m=$m&y=$year"; 

but that doesn't seem to work. I get an internal error message. can somebody help? what code do I use in the archive.php file to grab the variables and display the data?

Spelling?
What is the exact error message?

reset ($HTTP_GET_VARS);
$page = $HTTP_GET_VARS["page"];
$m= $HTTP_GET_VARS["m"];
$year= $HTTP_GET_VARS["y"];
