Code:

<?php
$city=$_GET['city'];
$category=$_GET['category'];
echo '<a href="http://www.myweb.com/addform.php?city=$city">'.'['.'Add form'.']'.'</a>';

Because the $city inside single quotes is interpreted as text. Make it:

<?php
$city=$_GET['city'];
$category=$_GET['category'];
echo "<a href=\"http://www.myweb.com/addform.php?city=$city\">".'['.'Add form'.']'.'</a>';
?>
