i have a problem with my php script ...i need to pass an id ($id) to a page called pa

[jessy]

this page opens in a pop up where it fetches an image from the Database ...everything works perfect except for passing the id part..
i'm tired of trying and i kept 5 days googling but could not solve it !!
any help would be appreciated .. here's the line that drove me crazy
<A HREF='javascript:popup("page.php?id=$id"...
this $id was sent to this page by another page and now i want to resent it to some other page (page.php) i assumed it's already known for this page so i used it directly $id

its not coming via post Nor get
i got this id from alink <a href='edit_news.php?id=$id'>
okay..
then in the second page i write $id=$_REQUEST[id]; so now i have this id on that second page and when i echo this id it gives me the correct one But on this second page i need to sent that SAME id to the pop up ????? that's my problem

Heya, Jessy.

Try this:

<a href="#" onclick="popup('page.php?id=<?php echo $id; ?>; return false;" ...

Oh God
God Bless You Admin .. it Works ...
i can't beleive it ..i was getting sick

but please can u tell me what is the difference between

popup("page.php?id=<? echo $id ;?>");
and
popup("page.php?id=$id") ;
what difference does it makes if the page already knows the value of $id

Have a look at this document: http://php.net/string.

The "page" is just an HTML document that the User's browser interprets. It never communicates with the PHP side directly.
