How to get variable in another page and submit/update in database

[Tasos]

Hello, i would like to know to how to make this script work.

 

I get information using this  link below in index.php, after  i get the information i want to insert/update in database information which i don't show on the page self.

 

index.php

<?php 
echo '<a href="example.com?url='. $row['url'] . '&name='. $row['name'] .'&info='. $row['info'] .'&privat='. $row['privat'] .'" target="_blank">Edit</a> ';?>

So like this here below i show the information.

 

get_info.php

<?php echo $_GET['name']; ?>

Which works fine.

 

So now updating the database.

$ip_address = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; // Ip address works fine

$name = $_GET['name'];     // not working
$r_name = $_POST['$name']; // not working

$r_name= 'test'; // this is working.

mysql_query("insert into r_test (r_name,r_ip) values('$r_name','$ip_address')")
or die(mysql_error());

So how can i get the value and insert in database, only row r_ip is updated with the ip address.

 

I hope i explained it well

Thanks in advance.

You're not linking to your index.php script, which is where I presume you are trying to do your update code?

 

example.com/index.php?url=...

I don't see "example.php" in the url of your link. I see example.com

<?php 
echo '<a href="example.com/get_info.php?url='. $row['url'] . '&name='. $row['name'] .'&info='. $row['info'] .'&privat='. $row['privat'] .'" target="_blank">Edit</a> ';?>
