Another note, just so you don't scratch your head any more, in this chunk:

<form method="POST" action="link.php">
      <input type="Text" id="$urlname" value=""/>
      <input type="Text" id="$url" value=""/>
      <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
     </form>

'
You have id="$url", and if you try to access this later in php (after it's name instead of id, because id doesn't work in inputs/form pieces), you'd try $_POST[$url] except that php would use the php variable of $url, and it would end up as $_POST[''] and you don't want that. If you did $_POST['$url'] that would work, since single quotes ignores variables, it's just really not something you want to get started as a habit.

Use the NAME tag which is required for this.

Then in PHP, you can access $_POST['urlname']
(older versions of PHP would let you just directly access $urlname but for security that efault configuration has been changed)
