Re: [PHP] Question about $_GET

[Jason k Larson]

Forms have two distinct methods. GET and POST. if the form has a method of POST vars are stored in $_POST, ditto for GET.

Use $_POST['id'] not $_GET['id'] if your form uses the POST method.

$query = "SELECT Newsheadline, News, Contact FROM news WHERE Newsid =
'$_GET['id']'";

It looks like here that again $_GET['id'] has an empty value;
