Help needed with code

Hi All
Can someone point me in right direction please. I'm trying to send data from one page to another by using Checkboxes. First why doesn't header take the id and news to newsDisplay.php page even thou by clicking display button the page comes up but WITHOUT the id and news rows. The second code works but I have to make TWO attempts, I check the checkbox and click nothing happens but when I do the same again it works and does produces right result.

 if($_POST['display']) {
foreach($_POST as $id) {
//header('location: newsDisplay2.php?id=$id&news=$news');
echo "<form action=\"newsDisplay2.php?id=$id&news=$news\" method=\"POST\">"; 
}
}

Code (markup):

Thanks in advance

Post the entire code, not just that snippet. Your asking about a checkbox, but there is no checkbox in that code.

 

variable will work only with double commas ""

use this header
header("Location: newsDisplay2.php?id=$id&news=$news");

or
header("Location: newsDisplay2.php?id=".$id."&news=".$news);
