Cant get variable to set

[jjmusicpro]

I wanted people to go to www.mysite.com/index.php?groupid=1

So when the page is displayed, it should go into my DB and get the valudes from metroareas, and then dispaly some data from the DB.

 

I cant get seem to get it to do that, here is what i got:

 

<?php 
	  if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST"){
	  $groupid = $_GET['groupid']; 
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)){ 
$site = $row['groupname'] ;
}
		echo $row['groupname'];}
	   ?>

 

Thanks for the help everyone...ima  noob!@

check first if the condition you have run your query like put some echo 'test' inside the condition

 

or if that si not effective then show your query

This is what i have and it seems to work right off the bat when i go to www.mysite.com/index.php?groupid=1

but when i run a search from that page, and it posts back to itself, it wont display it anymore

 

  <?php
	     require_once ('connect.php'); 
  			 require_once ('opendb.php'); 

		 $groupid_sent = $_GET['groupid'];

	   $query = "SELECT * FROM metrogroups WHERE groupid='$groupid_sent'"; 
  $result = @mysql_query ($query); 
  $count = mysql_num_rows($result); //number of results 
  
  while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)){ 
$groupname = $row['groupname'] ;
echo $groupname;
}
	   ?>

i think i see whats going on, i am not passing the id anymore in the url, how do i pass this again after?

 

when i start out i go to www.mysite.com/index.php?groupid=1

 

then when i run a search function, it sends me back to index.php, so how can i attached or hide that value of groupid?

[jjmusicpro]

How do i pass the id on the end of redirect?

 

echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT=\"0; URL=nf.php\">";

 

like

 

echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT=\"0; URL=nf.php <?php $groupid_sent = $_GET['groupid']; echo $groupid_sent ?>\">";

 

??? dosnt seem to work

[Oldiesmann]

echo "<meta http-equiv=\"Refresh\" content=\"0;url=nf.php?" . $_GET['groupid'] . "\">";

[Yesideez]

echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=nf.php?groupid='.$_GET['groupid'].'?>">';

 

Try that.
