thanks in advance

hello again.

why don't you use the session?

in the page that calls test.php3, put this at the very top of the page (before ANY output)

<?
session_start();

//then store all values that you want to pass between pages
$usr = "dotbob";
$pwd = "anything";

//then store them in the session
session_register("usr");
session_register("pwd");
?>

Now within funddetails.php3, again add this to the top of the page before any output:

<?
session_start();
//this allows all data stored in the session to be referenced by this page. So if for example you did this:

echo $usr;
//then you would see dotbob echo'd to the page.
?>

Hope this helps

just one further small question............ see the lines

 
<a href=\"test.php3\">Click ME</a></font> 
<a href=\"test.php3\">Second click</a></font> 
[code=php] 


i want test.php3 to do display different lines depending on what is clicked. Click me and Second click are items that are loaded from a database, is there a way i could maybe pass the database id to test.php3, and then retrieve the info i want from the database in test.php3????


many thanks for your help

dotbob

morning.

yup, just append each link with the database id

an example would be:

$conn = mysql_connect("server ady","user","pass");
$result = mysql_db_query("dbname","SELECT * FROM tblname",$conn);

//use a counter var to differentiate between your hrefs 
$counter = 0;

if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0)
{
while($rows = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
//increment the counter
$counter++;
echo '<a href="test.php3?dbid='.$rows["id"].'">click ME '.$counter.'</a><br>';
}
}

excellent, and one final things, sorry for being so annoying, how do i access this varibale from test.php3?

many thanks again

dotbob

not at all.

you're not being the slightest bit annoying, glad to be of service.

within test.php3 do this:

<?
echo $dbid;
?>

So an example of using this value to query a DB would be:

<?
if($dbid)
{
$conn = mysql_connect("server ady","user","pass"); 
$result = mysql_db_query("dbname","SELECT * FROM tblname WHERE id = ".$dbid,$conn); 

if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) 
{ 
while($rows = mysql_fetch_array($result)) 
{ 
echo $rows["column_name"]."<br>";
} 
}
}
else
{
echo "No valid ID passed";
}
?>

If you need help in the future, just PM me.

cheers.
