Create Session Variables in Dynamic Tables

[joeltonnberg]

I have a rather simple dynamic table which displays information from a certain column from a database. The code is as follows:

 

<table border="1">

  <tr>

    <td>Name</td>

  </tr>

  <?php do { ?>

    <tr>

      <td><?php echo $row_Recordset1['Name']; ?></td>

    </tr>

    <?php } while ($row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1)); ?>

</table>

 

However, how do I do so I can click on each row of data that is displayed (so it redirect to another page) and create a session variable with the same value as the data in a particular row displayed? For example, if the Recordset retrieve and display the value "james, when clicked I want to create a session variable named "james".

I normally do something like:

<a href="index.php?id=<?php =$r['table_id'];?>">link text</a>

 

then  when you get to the index.php page, check for the $_REQUEST['id'] variable and take it from there

Thanks. However, as I am rather new how more exact would I go about incorporate that into the code I have?
