You have to understand that the "PHP variables" in the links are not
related to PHP or any other server-side processing engines. Plus, on
the page you mention (http://rhe.pehjota.com/), the only URL
containing a query component (?x=y&a=b...) is the one for the web
counter service. Is this really the page you are trying to validate?

There should be a link to a help page in the text of the error message:
http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#amp

Is that help page useful for you?
