Insert record using a var - basic question :(

[nicemotion]

Hallo,

i need to insert in the 'MarcaLinea_Pdf' field the value of the var
'recordID' sent from a page ( insert_pdf.php?recordID=14)

it's easy, i know, but...

Also, how to Printout the value of recordID ?

The insert code is as follows:

$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO pdf (ID_PDF, MarcaLinea_Pdf,
NomePdf, Pdf_icona, Pdf_Doc) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s)",
GetSQLValueString($_POST['ID_PDF'], "int"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['MarcaLinea_Pdf'],
"int"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['NomePdf'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['Pdf_icona'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['Pdf_Doc'], "text"));

mysql_select_db($database_Conn_Bianchi, $Conn_Bianchi);
$Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $Conn_Bianchi) or
die(mysql_error());

Thank you

If the page is submitted with a POST method, then your values will be
available in $_POST. If it's submitted with a GET, or blank method
then the values will be available in $_GET.

The 'action' URL in a POST form may also contain a query string, so the
script would receive both GET and POST data.

>In most cases, you can
just use $_REQUEST, which will access $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE globals.

In most cases using $_REQUEST is a really bad idea, since you don't know
where your data is coming from.

If you expect a URL parameter, use $_GET. If you want to access a cookie
value, use $_COOKIE etc. $_REQUEST is useful only in very rare cases.
