Going Nuts with %24.... HELP PLEASE!!!

[Anon]

OK... I'm driving myself nuts trying to figure out this damn thing..!!

Here's the code...
---------------- snippet ----------------
echo '<form action="WebStore/Shopping/categories/main.php?"><select name=$ID>';
$XX = "data empty!";

$aku = mysql_query("SELECT ID, Description FROM $usertable ORDER BY Description");

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($aku))
{
$ID=$row["ID"];
$Description=$row["Description"];

echo "<option value=$ID>$Description\n";
}

if ($ID="")

{
print ("$XX");
}
echo "</select>\n";

echo "<input type=submit value=\"View This!\">\n";
print ("<br><br>");
---------------- snippet ----------------

Here's the problem! It shows a URL with %24 in it? I can't get this bug out! It will show this:

http://websystemz.com/WebStore/Shopping/categories/main.php?%24ID=77

Everything is fine, except that %24? I've tried spaces, underscores, question marks, quotes... you name it.

Anyone know how to kill the bug? Your name will be added to the script with email address (if you like) for helping me!

Thanks,
Matt

Remove your ? from the end of the form action. I bet %24 = ? when it's URL Encoded.

And don't add my name/email to anything please.

Get rid of the $ in $ID in your first line. %24 is a dollar sign. I think you want the name of that HTML select to be ID anyway, not the value of the PHP variable $ID.

Also, if this fixes your problem, please don't put my name anywhere.
