Hi guys, thanks for the replies,
Haywood, I have tried your option and it makes no difference to the operation of the script.
I may not have made myself very clear with what I am trying to do.
The nut and bolts of it are:
I have a table with 12 fields. one of the fields holds an ID for the record. I want do display the first 3 fields and then give the user the option of clicking on the ID field which will run another script and display the complete record on another page. I am trying to use the ID field and pass that data as a lookup for the complete record. I have managed to make the ID field work as a HTTP link but the link only shows the actual data as the link i.e:
if the ID of the record is "20" the link looks like this
http://mysite/20
the "20" is the data in the record. How do I append an extention to the URL to make it :
"http://myweb/20.php
use the "20" to lookup the complete record in the table.
Am I asking too much.
I do need help with this one my friends.
