flowingwindrider Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I have no idea even where to begin on this one: I have a classified ads page that lists just a few fields from each row of a database. I need the user to be able to click a link for each displayed row that will take them to a page with the full information from that row. If anyone can even tell me the name for this process then I can google it and find a tutorial, but I just don't have a clue. Further explanation: 1st page: a table that lists a unique id for each Ad, the type of job it lists, and the date it was posted. Next to this is the word 'details', which I would like to become the link to the 2nd page: For each unique id I want to display all the rest of the information for the listing such as wage, address, phone #, etc. Can anyone give me a starting poing?

AndyB Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 <a href="details.php?id=27">details</a> Then on details.php ... <?php $id = $_GET['id']; // make database connection // select database $query = "SELECT * from tablename WHERE id = '$id'"); $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); // display $row array variables to suit // link to previous page Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/60684-solved-i-dont-know-where-to-start/#findComment-301897 Share on other sites More sharing options...
