Why doesn't this $_GET work - php

Question

I am just trying to get the values from a table, but for some reason GET isn't working for me, or I am doing something wrong. Here is how I create my table in one php file:
<?php
.
.
.
.
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>Login ID</td>";
$j=1;
echo "<td><input name=$j type='text' value='$line[$j]' size=20/></td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>Name</td>";
$j=2;
echo "<td><input name=$j type='text' value='$line[$j]' size=20/></td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>Password</td>";
$j=3;
echo "<td><input name=$j type='text' value='$line[$j]' size=20/></td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>Birthday</td>";
$j=4;
echo "<td><input name=$j type='text' value='$line[$j]' size=20/></td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>Address</td>";
$j=5;
echo "<td><input name=$j type='text' value='$line[$j]' size=20/></td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>Email</td>";
$j=6;
echo "<td><input name=$j type='text' value='$line[$j]' size=20/></td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>Phone Number</td>";
$j=7;
echo "<td><input name=$j type='text' value='$line[$j]' size=20/></td>";
echo "</tr>";
?>
The names should be the number 1-7 right?
In another php file I attempt to access the values in those fields with he following code:
<?php
.
.
.
.
$login_id = $_GET['1'];
$name = $_GET['2'];
$pw = $_GET['3'];
$bday = $_GET['4'];
$address = $_GET['5'];
$email = $_GET['6'];
$phno = $_GET['7'];
echo "new: $login_id, $name, $pw, $bday, $address, $email, $phno";
?>
Here is what I end up getting back: new: , , , , , ,
So what is it that I am doing wrong? I can't seem to find anything wrong with my code. I know I should probably be using $_POST for the password.

<?php
echo "<form action='otherfile.php' method='get'><tr>";
echo "<td>Login ID</td>";
$j=1;
echo "<td><input name=$j type='text' value='$j' size=20/></td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>Name</td>";
$j=2;
echo "<td><input name=$j type='text' value='$j' size=20/></td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>Password</td>";
$j=3;
echo "<td><input name=$j type='text' value='$j' size=20/></td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>Birthday</td>";
$j=4;
echo "<td><input name=$j type='text' value='$j' size=20/></td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>Address</td>";
$j=5;
echo "<td><input name=$j type='text' value='$j' size=20/></td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>Email</td>";
$j=6;
echo "<td><input name=$j type='text' value='$j' size=20/></td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>Phone Number</td>";
$j=7;
echo "<td><input name=$j type='text' value='$j' size=20/></td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>Submit Data</td>";
echo "<td><input name='submitdata' type='submit' value='submit' size=20/></td>";
echo "</tr><form>";
?>
if you want submit then get the all value in otherfile.php file
try its working...

Answer 2

You have not put the <form> tag. Add tag in begining
<form action='another_page.php' method='get'>
and in the end write
<input type='submit' name='submit>
</form>
What it will do on submit it will forward the values to the another page.

<form name="login" method="get" action="youraction.php">
echo "<td><input name=$j type='text' value=$j /></td>";
</form>
youraction.php
---------------
<?php
if($_GET)
{
print_r($_GET);
}
?>
