Sending information over pages

[Jace]

I am using a database, and I am wondering how to send a value from one page to another.

ex.

User clicks on a link, which is assigned a value from the field 'ID' in the database.

The link sends the user to a new page, which displays the other fields in the same row as 'ID'

I believe I have seen this before, and what other pages have done is add something in the url. However I do not know how to do this, or get information from the url.

if you make a link;

<a href="page2.php?id=4">here</a>

then on page to, you can collect this id using.

$id = $_GET['id'];

more info in the manual. [man]$_GET[/man]

I think the link thorpe meant to send you to was this:

[man]reserved.variables#reserved.variables.get[/man]
