I could not tell if your question had been adequately answered, but there is an easy way to deal with these types of things without worrying yourself with syntax. Just use concatenation (.) as follows: $query = "select newsheadline, news, contact from news where newsid = '" . $_GET['id'] . "'"; This builds $query using three separate strings. The first and third strings are double quoted, and the middle string is your variable. Note another difference is that the value of $_GET['id'] is going to be surrounded by single quotes once $query is constructed.
