    Hope I can explain this.

    On my form I am using this line to pass info

    <input type='hidden' name='id' value='$id'>
    PHP:
    When I have the form setup as a method='POST' it doesnt pass the value.

    But when I have the form setup as a method='GET' it passes the info in the URL and I can grab it.

    So my question is can you pass a hidden form values using the POST function or do I have to use the GET?

    I think you mean this...

    $_GET usually shows things like, script.php?name=text, and you want to use $_GET like script.php which is what $_POST would do.

    I don't think you can, but then I'm a PHP noob.

    make sure you use $_POST[id] on the target page :)

    That is kind of where I messed up.

    I had _GET because I was testing something out and never went back and changed it. :)
