Best way to achieve this?

Hi guys,

 

I've setup a control panel at work - put simply, it's a way of people being able to view records retrieved from a MySQL database. Currently, they input the ID number into a box and hit "Go" as that's the only way I can think of to pull through the ID number to the next page, so I can do a "SELECT * FROM database WHERE id = $_POST['id'];"

 

Any way I can make the ID's linkable, so they just click on them and it pulls through that ID number that I can use in the select statement?

 

Thanks in advance!

Yes, use $_GET instead of $_POST.

 

You can output a number of results spanned over several pages, and have each result a clickable link.

 

Make the link for each record yourfile.php?id=x (where x = the ID#).

 

In the ID page, you can then use $_GET['id'] instead of $_POST['id'].
