hi,

ahmmn i found something wrong in your code i guess! maybe the column $id in your query statement is wrong because you have already declaired a variable $id before your query having the value from $_GET.

i'll make a small changes on your code and try it, maybe this will help you.

<?

include("connec t.php");

$id = $_GET['id'];
$search1 = "SELECT * FROM certified WHERE id = '$id'";
$result = mysql_query($se arch1);

while ($row = mysql_fetch_arr ay($result)) {
echo $row["CompanyNam e"];
echo "<br>";
}

?>
