$_GET contains parameters you pass to the URL and their values. So it is expecting your URL to look like:

http://yoursitename.com/galleryContent.php?page=1

or similar.

Looking at the code they are setting a default just afterward if page isn't set so you could change $page = $_GET['page']; to the following to stop the error -

$page = false;
if (array_key_exists('page', $_GET))
{
    $page = $_GET['page'];
}

If you don't pass page in on the URL though you will always end up with the default page 1.

$page = $_GET['page'];

comes from your URL. IE: http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?page=1 then the $page variable will contain 1.
