passing a variable in the URL or by form

[coolphpdude]

Hi there,

 

This problem will help me fix another issue so i'm starting a new thread for it.

 

My problem... Im passing the variable c_id to the page classprofile.php using the following method...

 

printf("<tr cellpadding='10'><td cellpadding='10'><font face='arial'><font color='#648CC8'><a href=\"classprofile.php?id=%s\">%s</font></a></td>", $myrow["c_id"], $myrow["c_id"]); 

 

...A search query is ran using c_id to find all of the details on that class. However on this page i run a delete command on this page and once the command runs it refreshes the page and loses the c_id variable that was passed in the URL. does anybody have an idea how i can work around this?

 

I was considering resending the c_id through the same form the delete works off and picking up the ' $id=$_POST["c_id"]; ' when the page has refreshed but i need to know 3 things first...

 

1) Is there an easier way to do this?

 

2) Will this work??

 

3) if it will work how do i do it???

 

thanks in advance

Set a temp session? Then unset it when you're done with it?

1) Is there an easier way to do this? -> I think your way is easiest

 

2) Will this work?? -> It should

 

3) if it will work how do i do it??? -> Pass the c_id again while refreshing the page after deletion by $_GET.
