[Resolved] data is in, how to get it out...

[charles256]

Okay, still working on this. I had to walk away for awhile.
The tables are set up, the data is in. How do I make the link to that row. I have #61 item and I want to link that and put it in the table I made. I can manage the table html and such but I don't know how to make the link.

Quite simply I thought it would be something like:

www.mysite.com/php?linkID=61
But I was wrong.

Can someone elaborate on this?

I'm not sure what the first part of this discussion was, however, you are on the right track.

An easier thing to do is pass the page and all in, like this:

www.mysite.com/page.php?linkID=61

Then, oln page.php you can do:
$linkID = $_GET["linkID"];
$query = "SELECT something FROM some table WHERE id=" . $linkID . " linit 1";

That will give you the information for the record in your table that has an id of 61.

You then just need to grab the info from the result and drop it into your page.
