Hey Amadeo,

Your results are push the to the $films variable. In your html you have $film["film_id"]. So just add a s to film and it should work.

In your "href" you wrong after id=

Now you have : 

href="films.php?id=film_id'.$film["film_id"].'"

and after GET you will have: "film_id2"

You have to change it with:

href="films.php?id='.$film["film_id"].'"

and after GET you will have: 2
