Linking to other rows within a table

Recommended Posts

I wonder if anyone can help me, I have a MySQL table of football teams (team_name; link; description; rival_1; rival_2; rival_3;) where each 'team_name' has its own page with the relevant information from the table and is named as the link field from the table. Within each team page I also want to display the rival_1,2 and 3 teams with links to their pages. I know how to just display the information but am struggling with picking up the link from the relevant row in the table. Is this possible or would I be better off just placing a <a href> link around each rival team when I enter it into the MySQL table??

 

I hope this makes sense, any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Can you be more clear on what are you having problems with. Also as i asume rival 1,2 and 3 are also teams, i would recommend to make tWo different tables,  one teams with columns id, team_name, link. And a second one that will be team_rivals that will have just 2 columns that would both be forefinger keys of the team id making a many to many relation to the team table
