[Help Passing Variable into next page]

Thanks for your help, but I'm still not successful in sorting this.

 

The generic links page is here: http://www.space.greensenvironmental.com/all_loads.php (just provides all records in the load table.)

 

It should forward the $clickid into the next page(, but it doesn't. I've noticed the address bar at the bottom fails to show $clickid within " load_info.php?id=$clickid" - unless I do a injection attack in the address bar, it emerges with the id number.

 

All Loads

$SQL = "SELECT * FROM loads";
$result = mysql_query($SQL); 


while ($db_field = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$clickid = $_GET['id'];
print $db_field['id'] ."<a href=\"load_info.php?id=$clickid" 
  . $id . "\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\">More Info</a>;";
print $db_field['depart:'] . "<BR>";
print $db_field['dest'] . "<BR>";
print $db_field['depart_date'] . "<BR>";
print $db_field['dest_date'] . "<BR>";
}

mysql_close($db_handle);

 

And the second page doesn't seem to 'grab' the $clickid var

 

$var = $_GET['id'];
echo $var;

 

Something so small is really stopping my progress!

[Help Passing Variable into next page]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to build a small project; and as part of it - I want users to search and when presented with relevant enteries in the SQL database - they should be able to click and retrieve a page dedicated to that entity.

 

The problem I am having is in passing the 'id' of the search result onto the next (description) page.

 

$SQL = "SELECT * FROM loads";
$result = mysql_query($SQL); 


while ($db_field = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$clickid = $_GET['id'];
print $db_field['id'] ."<a href=\"load_info.php?id=$id" 
  . $id . "\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\">More Info</a>;";
print $db_field['depart:'] . "<BR>";
print $db_field['dest'] . "<BR>";

}

 

I thought it was easy enough to pass the variable like above ("load_info.php?id=$id) and then grab it on the next page like so:

 

$val = $_GET['clickid'];

 

Unfortunately, it doesn't retrieve the info from the page before. If I insert a number in there, it does work correctly, but I really need the ID of the database entry to pass on so as to provide the user with further information.

 

If anyone could help it would be appreciated.
