submitting variables to mysql via a hyperlink

[Anon]

Hi,

I am trying to submit variables via a hyperlink to a mysql script. I have been using if ($variable){ when I submit variables via a form but I am unsure how to have my script pick up these variable from a hyperlink click. Can someone tell me how to name a hyperlink click variable that will pass my variables along to my script?

Thanks in advance!

As far as I know, there are two ways to pass strings to a script: 1) by submitting a form, and 2) by putting the strings in the hyperlink that calls the script. This looks like 'a href="yourscript.php?var1=something&var2=somethingelse&var3=etc."'

In the script you called, you can call var1 with $var1, etc.

I hope this is what you meant,
Ronald

I am passing a variable (int, primary key) as you mentioned in your response and it goes, should it in the hyperlink, shows it in the URL bar, but does not pull from the Mysql database. Just blank. If I put in a number for ID will bring it up, but 'using the variable from the hyperlink to pull, where ID = $id, is not working. Any clues?
