$HTTP_POST_VARS help.

[kpowning]

How can I pass a variable from a text link? For example I have a page called email.php and in there i have a scripting looking for:

if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['id'])){
then do this
}

I have an included page called reademail.php on the email.php page that echos from the mail database an email id. Here is what it is echoing out.

echo "<A HREF=email.php?id=" . $row_Recordset2['id'] . ">" . $row_Recordset2['emailsentby'] . "</A>";

when i click on this I get nothing from the first script above looking for a post of the 'id' variable...????? Why is this? Or what is the proper way to do this?

Please help me, I would appreciate it very very very much 🙁

Because it's not post, it's get.

So whats the proper way to redo the first script? I'm lost here. I appreciate the help.

$HTTP_GET_VARS, or the preffered method, $_GET.
