Mailing a direct link to a record

[Eiolon]

Hello,

 

I have an ordering system.  When someone submits an order request it sends an e-mail to the purchasers which contains the item information and a link to manage the order our intranet site.  The problem is the link is just a general like such as http://intranet/orders

 

What I would like to do is link directly to the item record itself.  Is it possible to include a direct link to the record in the e-mail?

 

Thanks.

Well, if I understand correctly you want to send a link via email that when you click it, it will go to the item the user submitted?

 

You could do something like http://www.yoursite.com/orders/index.php?order=15

 

So it will go to order 15, remember to check that it is the same user as who submitted it.

 

In index.php you can use $_GET['order'], than you can use that to retrieve info from a db.
