[ROOKIE] Terminology - need advice as to what this is

[nynnem]

Hello everyone.

 

I'm in the making of a dynamic (hopefully) site to let people browse, listen and download the music I've made through the years, where I can use an upload form (uploading a file + some relevant info) to automatically make a ... song.php?id=*** site. (By now you know, I'm totally clueless )

 

I've set up a database, an upload form, it's tested, everything works so far (a file gets uploaded to the server, and relevant info is posted to the db).

The problem is, I dont know how to use this effectively.

 

I'm able to retrieve a Title through searching for a specific artisthandle, like so:

 

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM uploading
WHERE Artist='artistname'");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
  echo "..: Artistname"; 
  echo "<br />";
  echo $row['Title'];
  echo "<br />";
  }

 

But from here on out, I don't know - and I really fail to find tutorials (which have been my only source as of now).

 

In general, I want my site to, systematically, work much like e.g. www.ctgmusic.com. How is it set up? How do you make ...php/?id='''  pages? How does it work?

What variables or functions do I need to use?

 

If anyone have an easy-going tutorial on these basics, I would be extatic!

Hope to hear from you

$_GET['id'] will retreve the song id from the url for you thats a big help there

then its just a basic sql query to get the song by id and the relavent data and display it nothing complicated just simple is best lol
