Incorrect.

"I strongly recommend you to first learn how to write php statements with 
proper syntax. For that you must understand what is exact use of " and ' 
in writing any statement." -Anirudh Zala

This seems a tad insulting for no apparent reason. My choice of using
double quotes may not be neccessary, but makes the code a LOT easier to
read and easier to write.

So $_GET[id] should be $_GET['id']

I'd suggest that you "learn how to write php statements with proper
syntax" before telling me to do so.

For those that don't already know: when you use double quotes in PHP,
you CAN'T include the single quotes for an array unless you put the
array in brackets. Check http://www.php.net/ for further details on
including arrays in double quotes.

Thus, inside of double quotes, you need to do it as I have done (or as
{$_GET['id']}).

The problem was my code was lacking a pair of outer quotation marks
around the entire mathmatical operation. I used a different method to
get rid of the ".expression." I was having, but it still worked.

Thanks anyway though,
