dealing with url info

[Bret]

Im trying to figure out how I can querry mysql with info based on a hyperlink clicked on by a user...like somehow include the conditions of the querry in the hyperlink or within the <a> tag. Is it possible to access info about an <a> tag with php like the name attribute?

Do you mean passing variables from one page to another page using the url? Yes, take multiple page for example. You have a url like this:

http://www.mydomain.com/data.php?page=1&offset=0&amount=10

<a href=data.php?page=1&offset=0&amount=10>link</a>

$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table_name LIMIT $offset,$amount");

you will have $page=1, $offset=0 and $amount=10 i.e to display 10 first data of the table.

erick_w's right, but if you have registered globals off, you might have to do something like

$bla = $GET['bla']
$bla1 = $GET['bla1']

to get the values of bla and bla1 from the url: http://yourdomain.com/whatever.php?bla=yes&bla1=yes

which in this case, $bla and $bla1 = yes

then after that just simply create a normal mysql query.
