无法从URL检索$ _POST值

Question

I am working on a task and have set up my code as follows:
On index.php I include a file, which serves as a view with the code:

include 'Controller/CallArticleData.php';

$i = count($display) - 1;

while ($i >= 0) {
    echo "<a href='index.php?editID=" . $display[$i]['ID'] . "'>" . $display[$i]['title'] . "</a><br/>";
    $i--;
}  

Basically, I call the controller, which calls the relevant model and then I use the data to setup the URL - I want it to set $_POST['editID'] whenever a user clicks on the respective link.

However, the variable still remains unset upon hitting the link, even though the URL changes to index.php?editID=12345. I performed this check both in index.php and in the respective view.

What am I doing wrong?

You need to use $_GET to access querystring parameters:

$_POST['editID']

should be

$_GET['editID']
