Here is the deal, I need a rating script that all I need to do is add a field to the mysql table, put in the script where I display the output of the table, and thats it.

Hey I'm a c++ guy not a php guy :).
I have one more question and it is about Mysql_query and displaying in a loop, the contents of a database table. I need to know how to be able to click on a link in the loop (per looped item that is) and make it take me to a page where there will be more data for that specific item. Sorry this may be confusing, I don't know the right term names.
