How can the ID of a dataset be passed to the next page in PHP?

To pass the ID of a dataset to the next page in PHP, you can use either GET or POST method. One common way is to append the ID to the URL as a query parameter and then retrieve it on the next page using $_GET. Another way is to store the ID in a session variable and retrieve it on the next page. 

// Page 1: set the ID and redirect to the next page
$id = 123; // ID of the dataset
session_start();
$_SESSION['dataset_id'] = $id;
header("Location: next_page.php");

// Page 2: retrieve the ID from session
session_start();
$id = $_SESSION['dataset_id'];
echo "Dataset ID: " . $id;
