persisting a varibale thru 2 runs of a page

[Arc]

I have a page which connects to a database and loads info into 2 text boxes. It knows which row to get from the table based on a RowID number.

The user can then edit this information and update it back into the DB. BUt my problem is, this RowID variable is empty when they go to update the info becasue the page has already run when it first loaded.

So how do i save the info in this variable for when they go to update?

Thanks!😃

pass it through as a hidden form field, like this:

<input type="hidden" name="rowID" value="$rowID">

make sure you put the rowID value as the value of the hidden field.

you could also pass the rowID on the url string like this:

<form name="whatever" method="post" action="yourpage.php?rowID=$rowID">

hope this is what you are looking for.
