[Resolved] using & in passing of varaibles in URL

[natman3]

I am i am wanting to pass three values to another page can I do it like so using this:

<a href="add_runner_limit.php?invite=<?php echo f;?>&gender=<?php echo f;?>&grade=<?php echo jr;?>">Add Runner</a>

I ask because can i use the & twice in this or is there another way i should pass. On the page these are passed to i am geting them with

$inv = $_GET['invite'];
$gen = $_GET['gender'];
$grade = $_GET['grade'];

[thorpe]

that is how it is done.

Its not working for what i need to do. after you click the link it puts those variables in the url and takes you to a form where it puts those variables in the hidden filed once the fomr is submitted it takes those and puts it into a function that inserts into the dba. However the related fields are blank in the dba that corrospond to the 3 values. here is the code.

<?php
if (isset($_POST['profile_data'])) {

$update_profile->add_runner_limit($_POST['cid'], $_POST['first'], $_POST['last'], $_POST['year'], $_POST['age'], $_POST['gender'], $_POST['grade'], $_POST['invite']); 

} 

<form name="form1" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
	   <table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" class="box" align="center">
		<tr> 
		  <td width="100">first</td>
		  <td><input name="first" type="text" class="box" id="first"></td>
		</tr>
		<tr> 
		  <td width="100">last</td>
		  <td><input name="last" type="text" class="box" id="last"></td>
		</tr>
		<tr> 
		  <td width="100">year</td>
		  <td><input name="year" type="text" class="box" id="year"></td>
		</tr>
		<tr> 
		  <td width="100">age</td>
		  <td><input name="age" type="text" class="box" id="age"></td>
		</tr>		
		<tr> 
		  <td width="100">&nbsp;</td>
		  <td>&nbsp;</td>
		</tr>
		<tr> 
		  <td colspan="2" align="center">
		  <input type="hidden" name="invite" id="invite" value="<?=$_GET['invite'];?>">
		  <input type="hidden" name="gender" id="gender" value="<?=$_GET['gender'];?>">
		  <input type="hidden" name="grade" id="grade" value="<?=$_GET['grade'];?>">
	  <input type="submit" name="profile_data" value="Save (profile)"></td>
		</tr>
	  </table>
	</form>

function add_runner_limit($ident = "", $first = "", $last = "", $year = "", $age = "", $gender = "", $gender= "", $invitational = "") {

	$sql = sprintf("INSERT INTO %s (cid, user_id, first, last, year, age, gender, grade, invitational, last_change) VALUES (NULL, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, NOW())",
			HIGH_TABLE, $_SESSION['user_id'], $this->ins_string($first), $this->ins_string($last), 
			$this->ins_string($year), $this->ins_string($age), $this->ins_string($gender), $this->ins_string($grade), $this->ins_string($invitational));

	}
?>

haha i figured it out... I made a simple mistake before i had this:

function add_runner_limit($ident = "", $first = "", $last = "", $year = "", $age = "", $gender = "", $gender= "", $invitational = "") { 

    $sql = sprintf("INSERT INTO %s (cid, user_id, first, last, year, age, gender, grade, invitational, last_change) VALUES (NULL, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, NOW())", 
            HIGH_TABLE, $_SESSION['user_id'], $this->ins_string($first), $this->ins_string($last),  
            $this->ins_string($year), $this->ins_string($age), $this->ins_string($gender), $this->ins_string($grade), $this->ins_string($invitational)); 

    } 

now its this and it works i had two $gender

function add_runner_limit($ident = "", $first = "", $last = "", $year = "", $age = "", $gender = "", $grade = "", $invitational = "") { 

    $sql = sprintf("INSERT INTO %s (cid, user_id, first, last, year, age, gender, grade, invitational, last_change) VALUES (NULL, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, NOW())", 
            HIGH_TABLE, $_SESSION['user_id'], $this->ins_string($first), $this->ins_string($last),  
            $this->ins_string($year), $this->ins_string($age), $this->ins_string($gender), $this->ins_string($grade), $this->ins_string($invitational)); 

    }
