Don't forget to build in some error checking incase someone types in the address bar, like "screensaver.php?id=thiswillbreak"

Make sure before you send it to the database that you validate it as proper input.

Have fun!

You've got the first part right. When you pass the value like screensaver.php?id=20, it passes the variable $id to the next screen which in this case would be 20. To pick it up using MySQL, you would just use a simple Select statement:
SELECT fieldnames (or *) from tablename where id='$id'
Which in this case would say SELECT * (all values) from tablename where id='20'.
