Header Issues...

ecg

I don't think I've had enough Caffiene today... but here goes...

I have a page that calls itself.. ie when you save the info... its saves then calls the page again

Header("Location: pagename.php");

Orginally I call the page with

<td><ahref="pagename.php?UserID=<?php echo $userid?>">Name</a></td>

and I use the $UserID field throughout...
can I

Header("Location: pagename.php?$UserID");

or something like that??

Thanks

Change:
Header("Location: pagename.php?$UserID");
To:
Header("Location: pagename.php?UserID=$UserID");

I know it was just a typo. I don't see why that wouldn't work. It's perfectly legal.

Thanks for your reply... but No joy...
the one file displays the equivalent of two pages... so the html has
(psuedo code)

if ((no user chosen) and (display = true)) 
	list names

//works first time in from calling program

else  

	<form name="Form" action="pagename.php" method="POST">    

 	<input type="hidden" name="UserID" value="<?php echo $UserID; ?>"> 
	edit values for chosen user

//displays correctly

	save/cancel

For save the screen values -> table and

 Header("Location: contacts.php?SUserID=$SUserID");

I thought adding a Form to the if part of display would get the $UserID but no joy.

It works for the else part of the display.. so I really don't understand!
help please?

Yes I did need the form for the hidden value and I had to find EVERY SINGLE instance of pagename.php to pass the id...
but its DONE!!
