adding to data from a database

[Knifee]

I am trying to build a small news page in php. so far i have manged to build a page to add a story to the database and display the storys in order on the frontpage.

how ever what i would really like to do is add links that can be called in a java script.

eg. insted of the the link being <a herf="mypage.htm> it would be

<p class="smalltext" onMouseOver="MM_openBrWindow('mypage.htm','popup','width=600,height=40400')"></p>

so my question is, is there a way using php and mysql to enter a link into the database simply as mypage.htm and then when when it is needed the rest of the html is added automaticly

Sure, just pull the pertinent row from the table that contains "mypage.html" and echo it back with some HTML on either side of it.

1 connect to DB
2 issue your select query
3 extract the field you need and assign it to a variable
4 echo the variable and the HTML you need

something like this ...

echo "<p class=\"smalltext\" onMouseOver=\"MM_openBrWindow('$my_variable','popup','width=600,height=40400')\"></p>";

PS, I am sure it is just a typo, but don't open a window that is 40400 pixels wide.
