Check php.ini to see if register_globals are off as I suspect the case is.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php
try echo("ID to delete: " . $_GET['ID'] ); or even echo("ID to delete: " . $HTTP_GET_VARS['ID'] );
hope this helps pete

Hello I am new to php.
I have a table that is populated with entries. when a user clicks on 1 I want it to open a new php form and send the ID (field in table) to the newly opened php form.
everything seems to be working well I see that the variable is passed the value (ID) in the URL but when I reference the variable in the called php page the variable seems empty.
here is the anchor link from first page with table:
echo("<a href='indpaper.php?ID=" .$row["BiblioID"]. "'>");
this seems to be working fine.
the URL:
http://localhost/ebusiness/indpaper.php?ID=42
as you can see is being passed the value 42. however when I go to the indpaper.php and try use the ID variable it is empty,
echo("ID to delete: " . $ID );
why is it empty?? can anyone help??
thanx in advance
