Use $_GET['id']

$id=$_REQUEST['id'] would also do it.

I am not getting values using get post & request also

this is how i am passing values from previous page

<form name="form1" method="post" action="add_answer.php">
<td>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<tr>
<td width="18%"><strong>Name</strong></td>
<td width="3%">:</td>
<td width="79%"><input name="a_name" type="text" id="a_name" size="45"></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td valign="top"><strong>Answer</strong></td>
<td valign="top">:</td>
<td><textarea name="a_answer" cols="45" rows="3" id="a_answer"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td><input name="id" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $id; ?>"></td>
<td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> <input type="reset" name="Submit2" value="Reset"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</form>

<?php
require("connect.php");

mysql_select_db("mysite",$con)or die("cannot select DB");
$tbl_name="forum_answer"; // Table name

// Get value of id that sent from hidden field
$id=$_REQUEST['id'];
echo $id;


mysql_close($con);
?>

Could you add a print_r($_REQUEST) statement in add_answer.php and post the results? What you have should be working.

$id should be $_GET['id'] in that code.
