<?php

if(isset($_GET['pID'])
{
        //The variable exists so set $pID to equal the value
        $pID = $_GET['pID'];
}
       //The variable is not set
       $pID = '';
}

if($pID != '')

it is a get variable which u need to fetch first

using some thing like this

$ID=$_GET['pID'];

 

after this u can use it..

 

[paulhagerty]

yep

 

<?php

$pID = $_GET['pID'];

?>

 

at the top of the page sorted it

 

very strange, with a different package on the same host... my other way works fine on many website
