Re: Passing data between pages

I suppose there is nothing inherently wrong with it, just a seeming lack of elegance. The link is intended to pass information (cat_id) to a query on the next page, thus deciding from which category items should be listed. Thinking about it further, I do have a third option. I realized that I can simply append the query to read: $query = "SELECT * FROM food WHERE ".$_SERVER[QUERY_STRING]; What are your opinions on that option? I am not terribly fond of it because it allows for no scalability. I am a big believer in developing re-usable code and this example seems quite limited. Thanks again.

Why do you believe it's not ideal and what problem are you trying to solve? -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-db ------------------------------------------ /* By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity.
