My earlier post works ok now to display I have been working on how to transfer the info to be displayed on another page. I can't get it to work in theory i thik it should be working can anyone give me an idea what I have done wrong.
on the display page I call data from the data base it explodes on echo and displays 9 news headlines. the ["newsTit"] is the whole news article headline ["newsMn"] is the main news article text.
here is the code i have put on the display page.
<p>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" border="0">
<form name="news" method="post" action="news.php">
<?
$sql = "SELECT * FROM tblnewsdetails order by intnewsID desc";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$tradeaid = $row["intnewsID"];
$accountid = $row["intAccountID"];
$stitle = $row["newsshTit"];
$mtitle = $row["newsTit"];
$nmain = $row["newsMn"];
$updated = $row["dtAddedOn"];
echo'<input name="tradeaid" type="hidden" id="tradeaid" value="<?=tradeaid?>">';
echo'<input name="mtitle" type="hidden" id="mtitle" value="<?=mtitle?>">';
echo'<input name="nmain" type="hidden" id="nmain" value="<?=nmain?>">';
echo '<tr><td width="90% align=left"><a onclick="submit();">'. $stitle. '</s></td></tr>';
}
?>
</table>
</form>
</p>displays ok it also goes to the news.php when the article is clicked on but when the news.php opens it remain blank here is the code which i have used on many other pages and it works and displays posted data ok but not in this case why???
<?
session_start();
error_reporting(PCT);
include("secure/global/connection.php");
$tradeaid = stripslashes($_POST["tradeaid"]);
$mtitle = stripslashes($_POST["mtitle"]);
$nmain = stripslashes($_POST["nmain"]);
?>
