How are you trying to access the data? Do you have a code example?

From the look of the code on the next page:

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<?php echo $ID; ?>
<?php echo $ID; ?>

Should work.

What code are you actually using to fetch the ID on the next page?

[PHP]
$id = $_GET['id'];
[/PHP]

That's how you get $id on the following page.

Huw.

Don't forget an if(...) { ... } statement. Setup something like this:

[PHP]
$pageID = $_GET['ID'];

if(is_numeric($pageID) && $pageID > 0) {

$pageID = round($pageID);

$query = "SELECT * FROM mobsters where ID='{$_GET['ID']}'";

}
else {

print("Invalid Page ID");

}
[/PHP]

I think he means how to access it..You would do this:

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
$id = $_REQUEST["id"];
$id = $_REQUEST["id"];
