But I want to send employee_id to attendance_add.php page. So how can i send?

Answer 1

You would do something like :

<?php echo "<a href='attendance_add.php?id=".$row['employee_id']."'>" . $row['emp_name'] . "</a> "; ?>

and then you will catch id from url with $_GET['id'] inside of attendance_add.php

Answer 2

in a href you write this:

<?php echo "<a href="product.php?id=<?php echo $id?> ">VIEW</a>"; ?>

then, you can fitch id on the new page with it:

$link = explode("=", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
$id = array_pop($link);

or using GET SUPERGLOBAL:

$_GET['id'];
