Your problem are the quotes. Take a closer look where you use them and where you maybe shouldn't do so. — Tobias F., Jun 07 '17 at 09:16
Please read the [documentation](http://php.net/string) for how to use strings in PHP. — Jonnix, Jun 07 '17 at 09:16

You need to take your variable outside of the single quotes, like this:

 '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/'.$_GET['w'].'"/>';
