Add a $_GET variable onto the url that you email to the administrator, then add a check to see if that variable is set on the page that the administrator ends up at. If the variable is set, have the script react accordingly.

 

For example - someone orders item number 1. The page the administrator needs to look at is goods.php.

 

Send this link to the admin: http://www.yoursite.com/goods.php?item=1

 

Then in goods.php add this code:

 

<?php
    if(isset($_GET['item']))
        {
            $query = "SELECT something FROM sometable WHERE item_number='". $_GET['item'] . "'";
            ///query the database appropriately here
        }
