Hi trq

 

Thank you for the reply

 

I need something like the following

 

they click on a link and that link then displays all the records in the database table that I have in mysql database

Your post is a bit vague. You can iterate through multiple database results with a while loop.

 

$mysqli = new mysqli('localhost', 'root', 'root', 'dbname');

$query = "SELECT * FROM table";

// execute query
if ($result = $mysqli->query($query)) {
   // iterate through results
   while($row = $result->fetch_assoc())
   {
       echo $row['column'] . '<br />';
   }
}

Sorry am not very good at explaining things

 

I need a HTML link that when a user clicks on the link it will show all the records that are in my database table that is called managers

 

see below

 

<a href="linkname">Show all records</a>

 

I know it won't look like that as will prob be different in PHP but using a HTML link would be better

 

Sorry not sure how else to explain it

There is no such thing as a "PHP link". You can link to a PHP page, but you would still be using HTML markup.

 

It sounds like all you need to do is make another .php file and then link to it with an anchor tag. So, for example, create "all_results.php", and then create a link with <a href="all_results.php">View All Results</a>

 

But I can't be more specific without knowing more about your environment.
