This looks supect if it's a direct cut-and-paste from your script -- you've got a
superfluous space between ?ID= and <? php echo which shouldn't be there and may affect the
value of ID that your script sees.
(Also, although it won't affect your results, you really don't need those quotes in the
echo -- why force PHP to interpret a string, extract the $NewID part, and then go fetch its value,
when you could write <?php echo $NewID ?> and let it just fetch the value straight off? (In
fact, come to that, why even bother with $NewID at all when you can write <?php echo
$colname_earlytour + 1 ?> and have done with it?))
Cheers!
Mike
