[SOLVED] how to send variable through link

[phplearner2008]

Hi,

 

I have a variable $id which i would like to send to mypage.php. Can anyone tell me how to do it?

 

<a href = "http://localhost/mypage.php?id=$id">MyPage</a>

 

doesn't seem to work.

how are you retreving it at mypage.php

it should be like this

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

 

Scott.

<?php

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

{

 

$id = $row['name'];

}

?>

<a href="http://localhost/mypage.php?id=$id">Mypage</a>

 

 

In mypage.php,

 

$myid = $_GET['id'];

echo "$myid";

 

This is the code I am trying to execute. Any suggestions?

Try this

 

<a href = "http://localhost/mypage.php?id="<?php print $id ?>>MyPage</a>

Thank you ranjuvs, I made a small change to your code and it worked!

 

Instead of <a href = "http://localhost/mypage.php?id="<?php print $id ?>>MyPage</a>

I put ending quotes at end of php like this

 

<a href = "http://localhost/mypage.php?id=<?php print $id ?>">MyPage</a>

 

My problem is solved
