Hi all:
I have a really weird problem. I am developing a customer catalog
system for my company and as such have delved into sessions for
authentication and access levels. So far, I have managed to get a
working system just about finished.
I am building an interface for our customer service folks to use to
manage registered customers and am seeing some weird behavior.
Basically, the main "my" page calls a page - managecust.php. That page
lists a synopsis of the contents of the users DB and the last cell of
each row contains an 'edit' and 'delete' option.
The edit option is a hyperlink of the type custedit.php?id='xx' where
the 'xx' is the id returned during the initial search of the DB (using
a select * from db).
Theoretically, when the user clicks the edit link beside the
appropriate record, the custedit.php page is called with the id # of
the record being passed.
The weird part is that even though the URL passed is correct, the page
"remembers" which ever record was chosen FIRST.
managecust.php code:

Can anyone tell me why this is happening? If I paste the URL directly,
all works well.
