                alert("<br>it will print no matter what!");

Solution 2:

change your php code as

<?php


            if(isset($_REQUEST['page']))
                {
                    $page=$_REQUEST['page'];
                }
                else
                $page="";
        ?>

Solution 3:

in PHP if block you use logal $page you need use global. So you must declare a $page variable higher of if block.
