Passing a variable (php) between html

I am trying pass a parameter in action tag in form, just the way I am doing in href tag but this isn't working can I know why? or should I just use a href tag in form, will that overwrite action in form? Here is my code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<?php 
   $ty=$_GET['param'];
   $name=$_GET['param1'];
   if($ty=='teacher')
   {
      $web = "<a href='teacherrepute.php?a=$name'>My repute score</a>"; 
      $rep = "<a href='teacherreported.php?a=$name'>My reported sites</a>";
      $blk = "<a href='newblocktryteacher.php?a=$name'>Block this site</a>";
      $unblk = "<a href='newtryunblockteacher.php?a=$name>Unblock this site";
   }
   else
   {
      $web = "<a href='pupilrepute.php?a=$name'>My repute score</a>"; 
      $rep = "<a href='pupilreported.php?a=$name'>My reported sites</a>";
      $blk = "<a href='newblocktrypupil.php?a=$name'>Block this site</a>";
      $unblk = "<a href='newtryunblockpupil.php?a=$name>Unblock this site";
   }
   // $type=$_GET['param2'];
   $courseA='A';
   $courseB='B';
?>
<body>
   <a href="reporttable.html"><?php echo $rep; ?></a>
   <FORM action = <?php echo $blk; ?>  method ="POST";>
      Block : <input type ="text" name = "url" /></br>
      <br>
      <input type="submit" value="block" />   
      <br>
   </FORM>
</body>
</html>

1) As you already creating link based on condition then you can directly echo that variable inside markup. e.g.

 <?php echo $rep; ?>

2) Instead of passing html in form action just you pass that script name. e.g

newblocktryteacher.php?a=somename or newblocktrypupil.php?a=somename

Based on these two points your code will be

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<?php 
   $ty=$_GET['param'];
   $name=$_GET['param1'];
   if($ty=='teacher')
   {
      $web = "<a href='teacherrepute.php?a=$name'>My repute score</a>"; 
      $rep = "<a href='teacherreported.php?a=$name'>My reported sites</a>";
      $blk = "newblocktryteacher.php?a=$name";
      $unblk = "<a href='newtryunblockteacher.php?a=$name>Unblock this site";
   }
   else
   {
      $web = "<a href='pupilrepute.php?a=$name'>My repute score</a>"; 
      $rep = "<a href='pupilreported.php?a=$name'>My reported sites</a>";
      $blk = "newblocktrypupil.php?a=$name";
      $unblk = "<a href='newtryunblockpupil.php?a=$name>Unblock this site</a>";
   }
   // $type=$_GET['param2'];
   $courseA='A';
   $courseB='B';
?>
<body>

   <?php echo $rep; ?>
   <form action="<?php echo $blk; ?>" method="POST">
      Block : <input type="text" name="url" /></br>
      <br>
      <input type="submit" value="block" />   
      <br>
   </form>
</body>
</html>

Your $blk is not a valid action form, because it's a <a> tag(link). So, $blk should be newblocktrypupil.php?a=$name' instead.

Your $blk isn't formatted in a way proper for <form>:

$blk = "<a href='newblocktryteacher.php?a=$name'>Block this site</a>";
<FORM action = <?php echo $blk; ?>  method ="POST";>

Assuming $name is bob in this example:

<FORM action = <a href='newblocktryteacher.php?a=bob'>Block this site</a>  method ="POST";>

As you can see, this is not correct. All you need is the URL itself. Also, remove the semicolon after "POST".
