Maknig a "REPLY" Button

[techiefreak05]

I havea  PM system on my site, and I'm having trouble adding a reply button .. Ive tried my own methods that dont work ..they dont produce errors, they just dont work! any ideas??

Can we see your efforts?

yeah.. its a bunch of code...here and there ..

ok here4s my REPLY BUTTON CODE:
[code]<a href="sendMessage.php?to=<? echo $_GET[$from];?>&id=<? echo$_GET[$id]; ?>"><input type='button' value='-Reply-'></a>[/code]
thats supposed to fill the form in sendMessage.php with who the message was from, and the message itself ...

heres the code b4 the reply button:
[code]$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM messages WHERE `to` = '$_SESSION[username]' AND `id` = '$id'");
while ($array = mysql_fetch_array($query)){
$from = $array[from];
$id = $array[id];
[/code]

i think thats it .. its all gone now, it got to confusing.. so i got rid of all the code.. excpet the reply button itself.

[code]<input type="text" value="<? $_GET[$from]; ?>"[/code]

You'll wnat echo $_GET[$from] otherwise nothing will be put in the value attribute of the input field so use:
[code]<input type="text" value="<?php echo $_GET[$from]; ?>"[/code]
