    I would appreciate some help extracting data from a url paramater and putting it in my php process page.

    Right now I have the form on the page and a hidden input with the id of 'page1'. I would like it if I could have a link to the form with the id in the parameter, But I cannot figure out how to insert the "product-id" parameter into my php page.

    Any help or a point in the right direction would be extremely helpful. THanks

    I would like to have a like open up with this command javascript:eek:penwin('reviewform','review-from.html?product-id=page1','450','450')

    These are what I am using now.
    Html Form

    
<form method=post action="process.php" method="post" name="tlreviewform" id="rev-form-field1">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="page1">How do you rate this item?
<select name="rating">
<option value="" selected="selected">-</option>
<option value="5" >5 stars</option>
<option value="4" >4 stars</option>
<option value="3" >3 stars</option>
<option value="2" >2 stars</option>
<option value="1" >1 stars</option>
</select><br>Your Name:<br><input name="reviewname" type="text" size="35">
<br>Your Location (City, State)
<br><input name="location" type="text" size="35"><br>
Type your review in the space below:<br><textarea name="review" rows="5" cols="40" rows="5"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" value="submit"><input type="hidden" name=".autodone" value="/review-form.html" /></form>
    Code (markup):
    Php Process

    
<?
$id=$_POST['id']; 
$rating=$_POST['rating'];
$reviewname=$_POST['reviewname'];
$location=$_POST['location']; 
$review=$_POST['review']; 
$todate=date("Y-m-d");
if ($rating == "5"){
	$ratingresult = "<img src=images/star5.gif>";
} elseif($rating == "4"){
	$ratingresult = "<img src=images/star4.gif>";
} elseif($rating == "3"){
	$ratingresult = "<img src=images/star3.gif>";
} elseif($rating == "2"){
	$ratingresult = "<img src=images/star2.gif>";
} elseif($rating == "1"){
	$ratingresult = "<img src=images/star1.gif>";
}else {
	$ratingresult = "No Rating";
}; 
$entirereview = "<div id=\"reviewholder\"><div class=rev-rating>".$ratingresult."</div>
<div class=\"rev-date\">".$todate."</div><div class=\"rev-by\">By:</div><div class=\"rev-name\">&nbsp;".$reviewname."</div><div class=rev-location>".$location."</div><div class=rev-review>".$review."</div></div>";

mysql_connect("mysql", "username", "pass") or die(mysql_error()); 
mysql_select_db("reviews") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `data` (id,entirereview) VALUES ('$id', '$entirereview')");
Print "Your information has been successfully added to the database.";

    Indent. Indent. Indent.

    Do not use "id" as a form field name, it's a reserved word.

    I doubt that this is a valid name: name=".autodone" because of the period.

    Do not use:
    javascript:eek:penwin('reviewform','review-from.html?product-id=page1','450','450')

    Use instead:
    openwin('reviewform','review-from.html?product-id=page1','450','450')
