Calling for data to be displayed using the URL

Hi, I'm having a problem getting my code to pull the appropriate information when I call for it via URL. (example: http://..../.php?id=2). For some reason I can't get it to pull the information for ID #2 (or any ID over 1) and input that information into my dynamic page. No matter what ID i type, or even if I neglect to type in an ID to begin with, it displays the same information. What am I doing wrong? The entire code for my page is pasted below. If anyone could help I would be grateful. I know there's something simple i'm over looking, but I can't figure out what. I've used the $_GET command to attempt to pull the information from ID through my page, but it's still coming out as though the code is doing nothing. Even if it's simple it seems as though I don't know what needs to be manipulated in order to get it to work. Any help will be grateful!

Thanks,

Ph33red.

I've used the $_GET command to attempt to pull the information from ID through my page, but it's still coming out as though the code is doing nothing. Even if it's simple it seems as though I don't know what needs to be manipulated in order to get it to work.

Firstly, $_GET is not a command, it's an array.

Secondly, not once in your code do you use it.

Firstly, $_GET is not a command, it's an array.

Secondly, not once in your code do you use it.

Sorry, I seemed to paste the wrong code and didn't notice it.

Here is my code. At the moment it seems to be configured properly, yet right now it's not pulling any of the fields no matter the ID I attempt to pull from.:

<?php require_once('Connections/StaffDirectory.php'); ?>
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
{
$theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;

$theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);

switch ($theType) {
case "text":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
break;
case "long":
case "int":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
break;
case "double":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . doubleval($theValue) . "'" : "NULL";
break;
case "date":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
break;
case "defined":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
break;
}
return $theValue;
}
}
mysql_select_db($database_StaffDirectory, $StaffDirectory);
$query_StaffDirectory = "SELECT * FROM staffdirectory";
$StaffDirectory = mysql_query($query_StaffDirectory, $StaffDirectory) or die(mysql_error());
$row_StaffDirectory = mysql_fetch_assoc($StaffDirectory);
$totalRows_StaffDirectory = mysql_num_rows($StaffDirectory);
$result = mysql_fetch_assoc($StaffDirectory);
$ID = $_GET['id'] ;
$ID = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($ID) : mysql_escape_string($ID);

if (isset($ID)) //this is looking at a specific ID
{
$query_StaffDirectory="SELECT * from staffdirectory where id='$ID'";
//$ID is the number after the ID= in your browser
$query_StaffDirectory=mysql_query($StaffDirectory) ;
