php and links to another page.

I am working with a member db. I am pulling a list of all members with their id and name.

 

Now what I want to do is take the id and make a "link" so when an admin clicks on the id it will bring up a page that shows that particular member's info.

 

What I have so far is this.

 

<html>
<body>
<?php
include ("var.inc");

$conn = mysql_connect($msql_server, $msql_user, $msql_password) or die ("Unable to Connect");

mysql_select_db($msql_db, $conn) or die ("Unable to Connect to DB");
$query = "SELECT * FROM user join id ON ( id.id = user.id ) where id.lvl='player' and ORDER BY user.lastname, user.firstname";

$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Couldn't execute query agian.");

echo "<table border='1' cellspacing='15'>";
echo "<tr><td colspan='12'><hr></td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td>Player's ID</td><td>Player's Name</td></tr>";

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
extract($row);
$pname= "$firstname $lastname";
echo "<tr><td><a href='index.php?action=viewplayer&id=$id'>$id</a></td><td>$pname</td><td>$subscribed_date</td></tr>\n";
}
echo "<tr><td colspan='12'><hr></td></tr>\n";
  echo "</table>\n";

?>

</body>
</html>

 

ok so I have this line which lets me have the "hyperlink" ( i found this but couldn't get any explanation with this).

 

<a href='index.php?action=viewplayer&id=$id'>$id</a>

 

now what I am trying to figure out is how to get this to work. I see that the code is calling a page (index.php),but after that I don't understand what it is doing. 

 

I am assuming action is calling a function but thats my next question how would I write a function that would take the id, call up the members file and display it with out using a return as the instructions for writing a function says to do.

 

ok anyway if someone could explain how this "link" works I would really appreciate it.

 

Thanks

<tr><td><a href='display.php?action=viewplayer&id=$id'>$id</a></td><td>$pname</td><td>$subscribed_date</td></tr>\n";

 

well i have just changed the name for the page oki now go to display.php code

do something like this

 

<?php
$uid=$_get["id"]
$connect//use this variable to connect to database
$selectdb//select the database
and then perform the query
$query="select from users where id='$uid'";
$result=mysql_query($query)//do the query
and then display the result by using anymethod
like
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)
{
echo $row["name"];
//here goes the rest of the code or info

}
?>

 

Hope it works for u
