Hi guys I've got problems with PHP here. I'm playing out with tutorials and practicing. I seem to have run into some trouble that don't quite add up :S

I have a link on a page that sends variables to a page namely edit_db.php4. The problem is that the values never get there. I want that they be displayed in a makeeshift form on the other page but nope it doens't happen. Below is the url I type in:
http://localhost/phpsite/edit_db.php4?id=4&Name=Wally

And this is the code for my page edit_db.php

<?php

$id = $_REQUEST['id'];
$Name = $_REQUEST['Name'];
?>
<body>
<h1>Modify Here </h1>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
<table width="473" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="177">ID Number: </td>
<td width="296"><span class="style1"><?php echo $id; ?> </span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Name </td>
<td><input type="text" name="textfield" value = "<?php echo "$Name"; ?>"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td><div align="right">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

I'd really appreciate any help on this guys

since you are using the POST method...try getting the variables from the the POST

$id = $_POST["id"];
$name = $_POST["name"];

NOTE..you should also check to see if the variables are there first before trying to retrieve them to avoid any errors.

$id = 0;

if (isset($_POST["id"]))
$id = $_POST["id"];

Hope this helps!
