[pleisar]

im new in php i was wondering

if i hava a page called list.php

it has dynamic text showing all the names of the authors in a list

but i want to make link to a page that has all the other data of that table (called authors) so it can show individually

u guys use in php the links in this manner

details.php?authorid=2 or 1 depending of the id or which id is in the table

i want to know how to do that

the simplest way is
list.php:

  $query = "select * from authors";
  $r = mysql_query($query);
  if (count($r)>0)
  {
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($r))
    {
      echo "<a href='details.php?author_id=" . $row["id"] . "'>" . $row["name"] . "</a><br>\n";
    }
  }

details.php:

if (isset($_GET["author_id"]) && is_int($_GET["author_id"]))
{
  $query = "select * from authors where author_id = " . $_GET["author_id"];
  $r = mysql_query($query);
// print author info
}
else
{
  echo "bad author_id!!";
  exit;
}
