Subject: [PHP] Best way to pass SQL TEXT field via a link
> I'm trying to update an existing record based on a link that represents
> the record to update.
>
> I have a link and I am passing variables that were assigned from a SQL
> database to another php form page which will be used to update the
> record. I'm passing variable like so:<a
> href='addupdate.php?name=$name&category=$category&description=$etc.....
>
> This works fine for variables that contain values of only a few lines
> but what about passing a couple paragraphs stored in variable
> $description assigned via database value as TEXT.
>
> Would it be better just to pass the database record ID to the
> destination page and then query the record in the destination form page
> and populate the form with the current values and update the record or
> is there another way I don't know about?
