I am successfully displaying rows of information from my database on a webpage. I want to be able to edit that data from a form. For some reason, my link to the form is not passing the data though.

Here is the relevant code that displays the data (including the EDIT link):

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="1" width="560">
<tr style="text-align:center">
<td style="text-align:left ; width:175px">Player Name</td>
<td>Team</td>
<td>Pass Yds</td>
<td>Pass TDs</td>
<td>Int Thrown</td>
<td>Rush Yds</td>
<td>Rush TDs</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<?php
    $result = mysql_query("SELECT ID, Player, Team, Pass_Yds, Pass_TDs, Int_Thrown, Rush_Yds, Rush_TDs, Total_Fantasy_Pts FROM ff_projections WHERE Position = 'QB' ORDER BY ID;");

    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
    {
    ?>

    <tr style="text-align:center">
    <td style="text-align:left"><? echo $row['Player']; ?></td>
    <td><? echo $row['Team']; ?></td>
    <td><? echo $row['Pass_Yds']; ?></td>
    <td><? echo $row['Pass_TDs']; ?></td>
    <td><? echo $row['Int_Thrown']; ?></td>
    <td><? echo $row['Rush_Yds']; ?></td>
    <td><? echo $row['Rush_TDs']; ?></td>
    <td><a href="edit.php?id=<? echo $row['ID']; ?>">Edit</a></td></tr>
<?php
    }
    ?>
</table>

and here is the code from edit.php:

<?php
// contact to database
$connect = mysql_connect("localhost", "xxx", "xxx") or die ("Error , check your server connection.");
mysql_select_db("xxx");
$ID=$_GET['ID'];

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ff_projections WHERE ID = '$ID'") or die ("Error in query");
$row=mysql_fetch_array($result);
?>

<tr>
<td><? echo $row['Player']; ?></td>
<td><? echo $row['Team']; ?></td>
<td><input class="edit" name="Pass_Yds" type="text" id="Pass_Yds" value="<? echo $row['Pass_Yds']; ?>"></td>
<td><input class="edit" name="Pass_TDs" type="text" id="Pass_TDs" value="<? echo $row['Pass_TDs']; ?>"></td>
<td><input class="edit" name="Int_Thrown" type="text" id="Int_Thrown" value="<? echo $row['Int_Thrown']; ?>"></td>
<td><input class="edit" name="Rush_Yds" type="text" id="Rush_Yds" value="<? echo $row['Rush_Yds']; ?>"></td>
<td><input class="edit" name="Rush_TDs" type="text" id="Rush_TDs" value="<? echo $row['Rush_TDs']; ?>"></td>
<td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

</body>
</html>

I know much of this code is deprecated. Once I get this version working, I’ll turn my attention to shoring up the code – using the mysqli API most likely.

In the meantime, any help with this would be most appreciated.

    PHP is case sensitive (most of the time). So

    $ID=$_GET['ID'];

    needs to be

    $ID=$_GET['id'];
