Re: passing variables

OK, sorry, I read your post in a hurry. Something like this should work: <A HREF="the_next_page.php?id=$row[id]">Do Something</A> On the next page you'd have: $sql = "Do Something WHERE id = '$id'"; By the way, you don't necessarily have to go to a different page in the sense of a different file ... all your 'pages' can be part of the one php script divided up like this: if ($action == 'delete') { do delete stuff } elseif ($action == 'full') { do full display } else { just do the default } In that case, the line above would be more like: <A HREF="the_same_page.php?action=delete&id=$row[id]">Do Something</A> Hope this is helpful.
