Passing a data value from one form to another

[Anon]

I have two pages, one of which displays the data from the database, and the other allows the user to edit it.

The record is retrieved using a user name and password, that works.

The record has a unique id, called id. I want to pass that id to the editing page

I have tried calling the editing page as follows:

edithotel.php3?id=$id

But the value of $id is blank

I have tried

include
global $id;

in edithotel.php3, and in the calling page hotel.php3, but this just gives me a format error.

I'm doing something wrong! Help!

Regards

edithotel.php3?id=$id

But the value of $id is blank

blank on the edithotel page, or in the URL itself?

Are you posting the form? (I sometimes forget to do this and spend ages wondering why the variables I sent in the URL are blank!)
i.e.
<FORM ACTION='edithotel.php3?id=$id' METHOD='POST'>

Dear Clarissa

Thanks for that. It kind of worked, and kind of didn't!

The form that I am going to also has a submit button, and it was calling that straight away.

Are you able to help me further?

Thanks again.
