I see several problems:

1. You aren't stopping anything from happening when the $_GET['agnt']
superglobal is empty. All your script does is echo out an error message:

> if(!empty($_GET['agnt'])){
> $agnt=$_GET['agnt'];
> }else{echo "Enter agents code!";}

2. The "$agnt" variable isn't declared in the right scope. PHP will
probably handle this for you and will only issue you a warning, but you
shouldn't keep the declaration of $agnt in the top of club.php.

3. In your <form> tag, you are setting the action to
"club.php?agnt=$agnt", and your request method is set to "GET". Instead
of forcefully setting the "agnt" request variable in the <form> tag, you
should set it in its respective <input> tag.
