[code]<a href=\"http://www.mysite.com/script.php?=$lastid\">View Record</a>;[/code]

isnt working.

echo "<a href=\"http://www.mysite.com/script.php?id=$lastid\">View Record</a>";

What they meant was that in your link, you didn't specify what POST variable $lastid is supposed to be assigned to.  Your link wouldn't work because of that.  The "[/i]" thing was a formatting error, but it took me a moment to figure out what it meant too.

Yeah sorry, that was a typo. Look at the bolded text....

<a href=\"http://www.mysite.com/script.php?[b]id[/b]=$lastid\">View Record</a>
