declaring variables in the url

[louisp]

Hi

I have made two php files one is for viewing the contents of mysql database and the other for posting reports to it.

In the url I have www.mysite.com/viewreport.php?id=85

so in viewreport.php the file looks in my db and selects the whole row and outputs information.

But for some reason it won't ouput the <?echo $row["id"];?> near the bottom of the page.

In the html I have :

Please click <a href="post.php?id=<?echo $id;?>">here</a>

through the browser it links to:

post.php?id=

without the id. Any help would be greatly received

its probebly cause your register_globals is set to off

try to use:

Please click <a href="post.php?id=<?echo $_GET['id'];?>">here</a>
