Building a Php/MySql image gallery

[jizmatik]

Hello everyone.

I am a complete beginner to php/mysql so please be patient.

Here is the situation; as the subject says:

.HTM homepage has several php links to galleries like:

<a href="mySet.php?num=1">Gallery 1</a>
<a href="mySet.php?num=2">Gallery 2</a>
<a href="mySet.php?num=3">Gallery 3</a>

Now how to I pass/use the ?query (?num=)into a mysql statement.

The num value is a unique number for each row I want to retreive the corresponding row for the query value.

Each row has data like galleryname/path to thumbs comments etc...

I can connect to the database/tables ok...

Thanks guys/gals.

<?php
$id = $_GET['num'];
mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE id=$id");
?>
