Try echo '<a href="'.$PHP_SELF.'?id='.$row["ID"].'">'.row["name"].'</a>';
if $row["id"] still isn't shown, then you most likely aren't getting the right data from the database to the correct variable... -----Original Message----- From: Omland Christopher m [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 7:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] ID NUMBER HELP Can someone help me with this. I'm trying to get ?id= set to the id number of the name in the database. I can get ?id="THE NAME" but I can't get it to pick up the id number. here is the code i"m trying: while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { printf("<a href=\"%s?id=%s\">%s</a><br>\n", $PHP_SELF, $row["ID"], $row["Name"], $row["Name"]); } If I change the first $row["ID"] to $row["Name"] then ?id="Name here" but then when I try to extract the information from the database using: $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Profiles WHERE id=$id", $dbcnx); $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); It won't work, but in the address bar if I manually change ?id=1 then the information will load fine. Can anyone help?
