My understanding is that when passing a querystring to PHP via the URL with the GET 
method, PHP will automatically create a variable with the name and value from the 
querystring.  I'm trying to do this and it's not working.

Here's my code from an online tutorial (angle braces replaced with curlies):

printf("{a href=\"%s?id=%s\"}%s %s{/a}{br}\n", $PHP_SELF, $myrow["id"], 
$myrow["first"], $myrow["last"]);

Everything here works - I've already loaded the $myrow with the appropriate data and 
so this printf builds a URL with a valid '?id=' querystring.

But when I click on the URL, the variable is not created.  I've tried renaming the 
variable, querying $HTTP_GET_VARS to see what's coming in, and looking at all 
available online documentation, but nothing helpful.  There doesn't seem to be 
anything in php.ini I need to set to enable this functionality.

Can anyone help?  Thanks very much in advance.

Jesse
