Database management php mysql

Question

I started learning Php scripting today only,i want to create an auction website for my college. I have a bid table having the following columns:

Userid
Itemid
Bidamount

When a user logs in ,and goes to "Items.php" page and when he will click on the bid option on an item (each item has an itemid)he will be redirected to "bid.php" page.
My doubt is: I will get the useid by $_SESSION['userid'], will i similarly also get the itemid automatically by the $_SESSION['itemid'], if not how do i pass the itemid to the bid.php page.

you get this $_SESSION['userid'] not by PHP. do you use some framework or tutorial code etc.? — Raphael Michel

another way is to to use an href tag to pass a variable to your bid.php and fetch it using get.

i.e <a href ="bid.php?id=1">Bid now!</a>

in your bid.php

    $id = $_GET['id'];

you would create a from and use POST or GET information that is passed by the form. you would not get this from session

here's a tutorial: http://www.tizag.com/phpT/postget.php

"you would create a from". Must be form. Isn't it?

magicianiam Over a year ago

a form is not necessary for this functionality, you can just use an href tag.

Daniel Over a year ago

how are you sending the data then? what link are you using? You could also use a url variable when you are generating a link.

magicianiam Over a year ago

yes a url variable is another way to approach this functionality. you can also add some ajax
