passing parameters in calling a PHP3 program

[Anon]

I am trying to passing a parameter to my PHP program when the user
clicks on a hyperlink. I have tried syntax like:
mytest.php3?12 and mytest.php3 ID=12 within the HTML HREF
tag but I still get an error in my PHP program when I try and verify
that I received the parameter by using
print("input value is " . $ID . "<BR>\n");

Not sure if I am following you but if you wanted to pass a variable named ID with the value of 12 in a link it would be
<a href="mytest.php3?ID=12">start php</a>
