A very kind soul helped me a few months back with the problem of variables not being passed through forms (due to a setting in php.ini that the web hosting service will not change). Solution was to refer to the variable in the receiving page as $_POST["variablename"] That worked great! But now I have a problem with a slightly different flavor. I want to call a page that passes a variable through (in this case id) - I've tried everything to get the receiving page to recognize the variable, but it always comes out blank. Example: I want to delete an item: <A HREF=keywords_delete_ask.php?id=$keywordid>DELETE</A> And the item I've selected has ID=145. The URL tells me that I've gone to keywords_delete_ask.php?id=145 Yet the value of id is most definitely not passed through. This is probably a very simple fix, but I am at my wits end.
