Creating dynamic links

Brad

Im trying to make dynamic links in my page that are pulled from my database and have no idea how to do it nor how to properly expain it. Basically I need my links to work the same as this site does with the thread starters links.

I want to be able to change the value of a column in a row in my table by clicking on the row number which would open the page I want and pulls that row information with it.

This is what my code is looking like, the change status link part.

echo "<tr valign='top'><td width='5%' bgcolor='#E9E9E9'><font face='verdana' color='#000000' size='1'>
<a href='changestatus.php?s=quoteIDNum=$quoteIDNum' class='db'>";

echo htmlspecialchars (stripslashes($row["quoteIDNum"]));
echo "</a></td>";

Anyone have an Idea of what I have so poorly described?

You need to separate name-value pairs in the query string with '&'.

Is that the proper format for the link thought?
<a href='changestatus.php?s=&quoteIDNum=$quoteIDNum'>

Im still kind of new to php/mysql and this is something I have not yet got to work. I've looked for examples of this to no avail so I'm left wondering if this is even the proper syntax for what I want to do.

If you are only interested in the quote id, then you can remove the 's=&' and just use

in changestatus.php, use

$eIDNum = $_GET['eIDNum']

to get the value from the query string
