Love2c0de Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) You need to write your link like so: <td><a href="edit2.php?id={$row['id']}">Your Link</a> Kind regards, Aotb.

Love2c0de Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Have you got your whole code for edit2.php? The error which is showing is related to that line 4 of the edit2.php file. Regards, AoTb.

jcbones Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Disregard that advice, there was nothing wrong with how you had it written. The problem isn't even in that page. It is a parse error, on line 4 of edit2.php, so post the contents of that file... in [ code ] [ /code ] blocks.

It is a parse error, on line 4 of edit2.php, so post the contents of that file... in [ code ] [ /code ] blocks. Sorry, I was under the impression you had to wrap XHTML attributes in quotations. I thought his table elements were written with PHP and not switching back to HTML mode to write it, which is why I thought the opening and closing php tags were unnecessary. But yes, sorry a65, you need to switch your first link back to how it was because you need to go into PHP mode to get the value to pass. Thank you for re-iterating my last solution though.

Love2c0de Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) The problem could be the single quotation on this line: mysql_connect("localhost","root","")'; I also noticed that you haven't closed the PHP tag in your <form> here: <td><input type=text name=myname value=<?php echo($row['name']); </td> Just a tip also, I'd really put your HTML attributes in in quotes, if only for good practice. I also don't think you need to be echo'ing the value when passing it through the URL, maybe take the echo out and see what value you get. On the first line of edit2.php, try putting this: var_dump($_GET['id']); Regards, AoTb.

Love2c0de Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Yea sorry a65 that was my fault. I thought you were using PHP to write the html elements, not knowing you was breakig out of PHP mode and writing the actual HTML stynax. Also, re-read post #8, it might help you. Regards, ATb.
