Using get in a form simply redirects the web page to the address, which in your case would look like gallery.php?gid=WhateverInfoYouWantToPutHere. Simple answer, make a link. — Lucas

if you call the script like gallery.php?gid=1 than you can access the value with $_GET['gid']. — bitWorking

i am using adobe flash php multi uploader. i have two tables like gallery and album and those two were related by having the album_id in gallery_id. but i cant save the album_id of that gallery because of $_GET. — JB De Asis

header("location:save.php?gid=".$gid);

OR

use a anchor tag with href="save.php?gid=<?php echo $gid;?>"

actually, an anchor would be href="save.php#anchor"

You can make it like href="save.php?gid=<?php echo $gid;?>#anchor"

I know that, I just wanted to point out that #anchor != Query String.

$_GET will contain all the variables which are in the URL, after the "?" (foo.php?gid=...).

You are not obliged to use a form to fill these variables.

The members of $_GET array is got from query string. In a simple way, a query string is tha part after the ? character of the URL and formatted in this way:

param1=value1&param2=value2&....

So you can pass any pair of key-value in to your PHP script by adding a query string to the end of this PHP file URL.
