How do I make php links with ids??

<a href="showad.php?id=<?php echo $id; ?>">Link Here!</a> 

 

Assuming you're querying your db, selecting the row, extracting the row, and just echoing the id to be retrieved by $_GET on the next page.

[jonsjava]

you mean something like index.php?post=42 ?

you have your sql grab it with something like:

<?php
if (isset($_GET['post'] && is_numeric($_GET['post']){
$id = $_GET['post'];
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `your_table` WHERE `id`='$id' LIMIT 1;";
}

and then run the query as you normally would.

*EDIT

just noticed what the previous poster said. between our 2 posts, you have the basics of how to put the whole thing together.

Like if I'm adding categories... category.php?id=12  <-- something similar??

If you know exactly what category then yes, that's correct.
