Link to Query

[nac1987]

Please reply in simple terms, 'cause I'm simple! Hello all.

 

If I have a list of links on a page like:

 

>Manchester United

>Manchester City

>Aresnal

 

How do I make clicking one of the links then query my database for that record?

So I click on manchester united and the body of the page calls all the information on the database for that club?

 

Surely I don't need each page to link to their own PHP page do I? The manchester united link doesn't need to point to manchester-united.php?

 

Can I have all the links pointing to club.php that changes in content depending on the link that was clicked? How do I achieve this? What's this called?

 

Please help!

 

Thanks all in advance.

One possible way:

 

<a href="www.somedomain.com?club=manu">manchester are scum</a>

 

The php script can the access the club variable by using the superglobal $_GET (note the ? seperating the url and the get stuff):

$club = $_GET['club'];
