Why don't you do the standard way:

print "<TD>$display_value<A HREF=link.php3?id=$id></TD>"

Here you pass ID value to link.php3 script.

what u do is add the following to your href statement
say if you want to pass a "$variable" equal to "mouse"
<a href=\"somepage.php3?variable=mouse\" >

you can also assign a variable instead of a fixed value.

hope this helps

Hey roopa

Like the other people said you add the value to the a href tag. The first value is passed by using the question mark (?) and any additional variables and values you want to pass are done using the ampersand (&).

e.g if i wanted to pass my name and age and height via a normal a href tg i would do the folowing

<a href=\"<about.php?name=$name&age='$age'&height='$height'>About me</a>

you'll notice that i didn't hard code anything in, instead i used variables. You can do this or hardcode in the values.
