how to pass a number through href url?

I wish to be able to edit db field that is displayed in a page by calling up another page to handle the editing. The problem is how to pass the id (number) through an href. In other words, can the number be included in the uri and then filter the uri to leave just the number? Is something like this at all possible? -- Hervé Kempf: "Pour sauver la planète, sortez du capitalisme." ------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Jourdan --- pj@ptahhotep.com http://www.ptahhotep.com http://www.chiccantine.com/andypantry.php
