[RESOLVED] help with links

I have the following on one of my websites I'm creating:

echo "<tr><td><A HREF=view_company_details.php?comp_id=$id>$id</a></td>
</tr>";

When I go to the details page I have :

<?
$id = $_POST[ "id" ];
echo $id;
?>

why can't I see the id? I'm working my way to a modify company page and I'm learning about passing variables.

Use $GET instead of $POST. Use $_POST when you send a form with method="POST".

when I did that, there was still nothing displayed. I know that I'm missing something, but I'm not sure what.

Ok now I see. Use $_GET['comp_id']. That is the name of the variable( comp_id=$id )

Really hate to say this, but that doesn't work either.

Try doing this instead:
<?php
echo sprintf('<tr><td><a href="view_company_details.php?comp_id=%s">%s</a></td>
</tr>',$id,$id);

$id = $_GET[ "comp_id" ];
echo $id;
?>

Interesting enough, that didn't work either. I'm going to try and rewrite the entire page and see what happens. Thanks for your help.

what do you mean with did not work? You get no output?
