Parkie02 · December 10, 2013

What I want to do is if I click of the name of the company (d_name) then a new page must open which shows the information about that company that I will create.

I now want to click on a company name and then a page must be shown with the details of the company. Thank you

Barand · December 10, 2013

output the d_name as a link, passing the company in the url querystring

echo "<td><a href=\"company.php?company={$debtor['d_name']}\">{$debtor['d_name']}</a></td>";

Parkie02 · December 10, 2013

I am new to php can you maybe assist me where to put what. The link page will look the same just with another query that look something like this

$sql="SELECT d_name,adress FROM details "; of the d_name that is clicked

Parkie02 · December 10, 2013

I got it right to show the name as a link. How can I now reference it in another sql query. When I click on the name I want to display a page with the details of the company

Barand · December 10, 2013

Where I had "company.php" then that should be the name of the page you want to link to.

On that page use something like

$company = isset($_GET['company']) ? $_GET['company'] : '';

if ($company) {

    // query your database table for the company record and display
    // using "... WHERE d_name = '$company' "

} else {

//  error - no company selected, return to company list page

}

Two problems with this query

$getnr="SELECT complaint_nr FROM complaint WHERE d_name ='company'";

1. "company" should be "$company"

2. the query never gets called.

You don't need the two queries, a single joined query will do the job more efficiently

$sql = "SELECT cd.order_nr, cd.amount_paid 
        FROM complaint c
        INNER JOIN complaint_details cd USING (complaint_nr)
        WHERE c.d_name = '$company' ";

Thank you. Just still one slight problem. Maybe my query is wrong. There can be more than one complaint_details of a company. I want to display all the records. In the complaint table there is the company name d_name and a complaintnr. In complaint_details there is the complaintnr and all the other details. Can you maybe assit me with the query

Parkie02 · December 11, 2013

At the moment only one record is displayed

Barand · December 11, 2013

That query should find all matching records
