PHP: the id number is cut out, and remain only the first number

I am making a little CMS. I am currently working on editing the pages. It works properly, but only if the 'id' of the page is less the 10 (has only 1 number)

This is the link the send to the edit_page with the form prepopulated with the proper content:

<a href="edit_page.php?nav_id_trough_link=<?php echo urlencode($selected_nav['id']); ?>">Edit this page</a> </p>

(sorry for the clumsy name of nav_id_trough_link, is just that i am learning)

When i just visit the page, in the address bar there is this:

http://localhost:8080/test1again/backend.php?navv=39

but when i click on the edit link, bringing me to edit_page.php, in the address bar appear this:

http://localhost:8080/test1again/edit_page.php?nav_id_trough_link=3

Somehow it cut out the 9 The same happen if the id of the page is 40, then will become 4 (and prepopulating the form with the content of the page that has the id 4..)

Someone please know why this can happen?

Error clearly lies in:

<?php echo urlencode($selected_nav['id']); ?>

Are you sure $selected_nav is an array? It looks like $selected_nav is a string, you are accessing it like an array and since string can be accessed as array but using only numercial indexes, 'id' is casted to int (0) and first character is returned.
