how to create a link with embedded php :

[Anon]

Here is my problem:

I get a result set from MySQL query,
I want to display the result as a link, then if the person clicks on the link
i want to preserve the value, and do something with it..i.e. delete the
record from database:

So far I have this:
echo htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($row["empID"]));

now..how can i display this as a link, and then get the value of
$row["empID"] if the person clicks on the link..and use some other
script to manipulate it

ur help is greatly

Example:

<a href="delete_employee.php?empId=<? echo $row["empID"]; ?>">Delete this employee</a>

This will be looped throught all selected record sets to display all matching employees.

Then, the link will delete this employee based on his / her empID #.

Of course, you will have to create the delete_employee.php script.
