Parsing parameter

[Jack2003]

Hi,

I am building a PHP webpage that contains a MySQL query.
I want to call the PHP page with a parameter that I would like to use as a condition in the SQL statement.

E.g.:

Select * from adresses
Where adresses.name = <parameter>

Who can tell me how to implement the parameter and how to call the PHP page with that parameter.

Thanks in advance,
Jack

If your going to use a form, make a form field

<form action="query.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="param">....

//Call the parameter
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE param = '".$_POST['param']."'";

Or just a link...

<a href="query.php?param=param">query</a>

//Call the parameter
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE param = '".$_GET['param']."'";

Lots of different ways you can do this...
