I have this header scrip
$globe_id=$_GET['globe_id'];
header("location: globe_welcome.php?globe_id=".urlencode($globe_id));
It is not working properly.

Do you have a session_start();?

I'm a bit confused what you are asking?

Do you want the get the $id

in here:

header("location: globe_welcome.php?globe_id=".urlencode($globe_id));

This is how do get the $id

It should look like this:

header("location: globe_welcome.php?globe_id=<?php echo $globe_id;?>");

Plus can you post a little more code regarding about this. It's hard to understand with 1 line of code.

No i am not working with sessions. It is just a simple work where i wanted to get information from my users in too forms.
When they are filling 1st form they are directed to 2nd form, but problem is that id is not showing at header

Can you show a bit more code? The 2 line code doesn't help either. It's hard to see what is happening without any full code.

Your code:

header("location: globe_welcome.php?globe_id=".urlencode($globe_id));

looks right since you are trying to used urlencode()

Since you are trying to get a variable into the header and trying to get the $id to work, then there's something wrong with your query that is not selecting the id

Have you try these function:

ob_start() 
ob_end_flush() 
ob_end_clean()

Can you post the code that is related to a query.

I don't want to sound rude but this is all your code?

<?php
mysql_query ("INSERT INTO globes (cat1, name) VALUES ('$cat1', '$name')")

or die(mysql_error());

// Get ID from browser

$globe_id=$_GET['globe_id'];
header("location: globe_welcome.php?globe_id=<?php echo $globe_id;?>");

?>

@raovinesh

Where is the query to select the $id

You need a query to select the $id

A query looks like this:

$sql = SELECT id FROM globes WHERE name="'$globe_id'";

@raovinesh

please guide me how i do ? because i am not good in php

I'm assisting you. So your goal is to get a variable into the header?

So far that code you provided is what you are trying to do.

OK I have couple of questions?

Do you have a database? If yes, is it connected?

Try to test this out and let me know what error:

<?php

include_once('config.php');

//post data to server
if ($_POST){
    $globe_id = $_POST['globe_id'];
        $cat1 = $_POST['cat1'];
        $name = $_POST['name'];

// Put data into table
$query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO globes (globe_id, cat1, name) VALUES ('$globe_id', '$cat1', '$name')") or die (mysql_error());
}

// Get ID from browser
$sql = SELECT id FROM globes WHERE name="'$globe_id'"; 

$result = mysql_query("$sql") or die("Invalid query: " . mysql_error());

$globe_id=$_GET['globe_id'];

header("location: globe_welcome.php?globe_id=".urlencode($globe_id));

echo $globe_id;

?>

Test out this code:

<?php

include_once('config.php');

//post data to server
if ($_POST){
    $globe_id = $_POST['globe_id'];
        $cat1 = $_POST['cat1'];
        $name = $_POST['name'];

// Put data into table
$query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO globes (globe_id, cat1, name) VALUES ('$globe_id', '$cat1', '$name')") or die (mysql_error());
}

// Get ID from browser
$sql = "SELECT id FROM globes WHERE name='$globe_id'";

$result = mysql_query("$sql") or die("Invalid query: " . mysql_error());

$globe_id=$_GET['globe_id'];

header("location: globe_welcome.php?globe_id=".urlencode($globe_id));

echo $globe_id;

?>

Tell me which line has the error when you test it out.
