try

echo $_GET['dbid'];
//instead of
$dbid;

or set register_globals to on in your php.ini file

If you don't have an answer yet,
basically, what 'cosminb' said, but more specifically in your code:

$clientid = $_GET['dbid']


But another thing - is 'proposal.php3' your frameset? If so, you need to pick up the variable with the above code in that frameset and pass it on to the main frame, or any other frame in the frameset with something like:

<?php echo   "src=\"$main_frame_src\"" ?>

where $main_frame_src = "main.php3?dbid=$clientid"

Then you need to do the same thing in main.php3 to pick up the variable.

$clientid = $_GET['dbid']

Hope that helps.
