At first you should check if is page setted, then you can access page

try this:

if(isset($_GET['page'])){
    $page = $_GET['page'] ? intval($_GET['page']) : 1;
    echo "current page : ".$page."<br/>";
}

here is the result i am getting:

$page = $_GET['page'] ? intval($_GET['page']) : 1;

Is the short form for

if($_GET['page'] !== null){ $page = intval($_GET['page']); }else{ $page = 1; }

So there are at least two sources of error. "$_GET['page']" could be unset resulting in 1. If this was the case there would also be an error cause of the unknown variable.

It could be a string which is casted to 1 - in this case there is no error thrown.

For your needs it makes more sense to check for an existing variable like mrustamzade proposed.

I would also check for a number like this

if(isset($_GET['page']) && is_numeric($_GET['page'])){
    $page = intval($_GET['page']);
}else{ $page = 1; }
echo "current page : ".$page."<br/>";

You can just modify the statement,

$page = $_GET['page'] ? intval($_GET['page']) : 1;

to

$page = !empty($_GET['page']) ? intval($_GET['page']) : 1;

Hope this helps.
