Your form is submitting data via POST so you have to accept it via POST method

<?php
   $id = $_POST['id'];
?>

otherwise change the method to GET and write it like this

$id = ((int)$_GET["id"]);

Use POST intead of Get because use set post method for form.

$id = ((int)$_POST["id"]);

As you have used form method "post", id variable will be available in the global $_POST array so use:

<?php
$id = ((int)$_POST["id"]);
....

You are submitting data via POST. Thats defined by the attribute "method" within your form tag:

<form action="show.php" method="post">

So data will not be stored in $_GET but in $_POST.

So to access the ID use $_POST['id'] not $_GET['id']
