PHP page advice needed

[ee12csvt]

Hi,

I have created a database on my local server for storing information of contributors to my websites. Contact details, web links, initials, etc.

I have created a couple of PHP pages to carry out the tasks I want to do, (I know I can use phpmyadmin to do many of the things that I want to but I want to create a 'self-built' version), but I am now having problems getting the info passed from page to page.

I have a 'viewDetails.php' page which creates a table where I can select a 'contributor', this then links to a 'viewDet.php' which displays all the information that I want. This is where the problem starts.

I have two buttons below the information shown on 'viewDet.php', one to choose 'Edit' and one to 'View Photos', these are being directed at pages 'editDet.php' and 'viewPix.php'. These pages open, but show no information? The 'key' is not being transferred across

Can anyone help me?

You could make each button part of a HTML form, and within each form include one or more "type='hidden'" fields with the data you need for the script pointed to by the action attribute of the form.

or you can use sessions for storing the data from one call to the other
try this link for that
