I am not able to pass variables between PHP scripts. what may be the reason?

Question

I tried to send the value of one variable to second php using - echo " $row[2]"; When clicked on the link, the address bar shows show.php?catid=4. but in show.php when i give echo "$catid";, it does not print anything. show.php works taking the value of catid as 0 or NULL. (Same thing happens when i copy and run the examples given in sites). Pls help.

$catid=$_POST["catid"];



in first file when suppose that you have a input like
