E-mail in php

hello,
i have a form where the user enters a request for a course. When submit is clicked on this form an e-mail is sent to the head of the dept giving all the details and accordingly the dept head gives the approval.
my problem is that i ahve succedded in sending the e-mail with all the information and i have also given a weblink which opens a php form with the radio buttons of approval and disapproval. What i dont know how to do is...how to pass the hidden values (ID ,firstname) to the new form which the head opens as a weblink.
a snippet of my code is:
if($submit == "Update") {

if($access == "Audio") {
$message = "First Name: $firstnamen Last Name: $lastnamen Email: $emailn PHONE: $phonen UCLAID: $UCLAIDn
STATUS: $statusn Department: $deptn SCHOOL: $schooln SPONSOR:$sponsorn SPONSOR CREDIT: $creditn
Please click on the following link http://ppp.design.uuu.edu/~aa/specialaccess/resultsponser.php";

$extra = "From: $NamernReply-To: $Emailrn";
mail ("alifyag@hotmail.com", "Special Access Enquiry", $message, $extra);
echo "<p class=bodymd>Thankyou, $ID, $firstname.</p>";
echo "<p class=bodymd>A response will be sent to $email as soon as possible.</p>";

}

pls let me know
thanks

Hi!
I would like to look at the code that generates the php link to the approval form.

There you could easely pass the values by adding them to the link like:
"http://my.url.com/form.php?id=0&firstname=maria"

hi,
the code that generated the php link to the approval form is:
if($access == "Audio") {
$message = "First Name: $firstnamen Last Name: $lastnamen Email: $emailn PHONE: $phonen UCLAID: $UCLAIDn
STATUS: $statusn Department: $deptn SCHOOL: $schooln SPONSOR:$sponsorn SPONSOR CREDIT: $creditn
Please click on the following link http://ppp.design.uuu.edu/~aa/specialaccess/resultsponser.php";

$extra = "From: $NamernReply-To: $Emailrn";
mail ("alifyag@hotmail.com", "Special Access Enquiry", $message, $extra);
echo "<p class=bodymd>Thankyou, $ID, $firstname.</p>";
echo "<p class=bodymd>A response will be sent to $email as soon as possible.</p>";

}

where resultsponser.php is the approval form.
i tried what u told me passing the ID and first name but that didnt help.
i want to do an update query in my approval form using the ID i pass but the question is how do i pass that ID??

if you put something like <input type="hidden" name="ID" value="$ID"> in the new form then the variable should retain its value.

hi notepad,
thats what i had done...but the new approval form wasnt taking in the ID.
however i realised my mistake and got it working.
i put
INPUT type="hidden" name="ID" value="<?php echo $ID;?>">
in the approval form and now it works.
thanks

sorry that's what i meant to say

its ok Notepad..thanks all the same
