You are just trying to figure out how to set this up?
Do you have the database set up yet?
This is a round-about view of it:
Database Table:
id int unsigned not null auto_increment primary key,
text text not null
Those are 2 imaginery fields.
When the URL is passed in like:
http://www.yourhost.com/article.php?id=1
You can grab the id number like this:
$id = $_GET["id"];
OR:
$id = $HTTP_GET_VARS["id"];
(depends on the version of PHP you are using.)
You then just set up the query to pull that info from the database:
$query = "SELECT text from TABLE where id=" . $id . " limit 1";
That will pull the record that matches on id=1;
You then just display the results:
(assuming MySQL here)
$result = mysql_query($query, $db_link);
$text = mysql_result($result, 0);
print($text);
This is over-simplified, but that's the basic idea.
Any help for you?
