In PHP how to pass a recordset value through a url

Question

I have a blog set up with PHP/MySQL with two tables (1 table
for blog entry and 1 table for comments on the blog)
I can display the blog and the comment with a LEFT JOIN
recordset like this---
SELECT golf_blog.blog_ID, DATE_FORMAT(
golf_blog.blog_created, '%b %e, %Y') AS blog_created,
golf_blog.blog_author, golf_blog.blog_subject,
golf_blog.blog_article, blog_comments.comment_article
FROM golf_blog LEFT JOIN blog_comments USING (blog_ID)
ORDER BY golf_blog.blog_created ASC
I have a link in the repeat region of this recordset going to
a page with the comment insert form.
blog_ID is the primary key in the blog table and blog_ID is
the index in the comment table.
How do you pass the blog_ID from the recordset to a text
field in the comment insert form through the link?
Or am i even thinking about this in the right way?

Answer 1

I figured it out and got it to work by passing the blog_ID as
a variable on the URL link to the comment insert form page
the link is like this
<a href="golfblog_comment.php?$blog_ID=<?php echo
$row_rs_golfblog['blog_ID']; ?>" >Comment</a>
and on the comment page used this code
<?php $blog_ID = '$blog_ID' ;
$blog_ID = $_GET[$blog_ID]?>
and the value of the insert field is this
<?php echo $blog_ID; ?>
I guess reading David Powers is starting to pay off.
