is there a way to pass data via the URL without using forms? How is it done? I can see in this forum that the data is passed. and I can see in my page that the data is sent via the URL, but the target page isn't "GETting" the data and retrieving the data from the database.

Note: my database is working. My overview page contains all the data. The <a href> link uses this to send the data to the details page via the URL:
<a href="details.php?=<?php echo $row_ShowAllAsc['nameID']; ?>"><?php echo $row_ShowAllAsc['name']; ?>:</a>
No errors show up on either page, just no data either <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

ok your url should kick out details.php?N=&lt;?php echo $row_ShowAllAsc['nameID']; ?&gt;
so for instance, you would see details?N=Gorinzilo

then your going to use &lt;?php echo $HTTP_GET_VARS['N']; ?&gt; to retrieve teh data on the next page
