Passing variables or database data from one page to another.

[Spanito]

Here is another question... Once your database displays data from a query in a php page.... example:

Cats

Fluffy
Maggy
Ginger
Shady

If all the names of the cats where links to details about them. What is the easiest way to setup php code that will allow a user to click on the cat name to take them to another query page that will display all details (field records of Cats) about that certain cat (record).

Maybe someone will understand where I am coming from!
Help anyone?
How do I pass the data to another page?

pass a GET varibale in your links...

<a href="get_cat_info.php?cat=Fluffy">Fluffy</a><br>
<a href="get_cat_info.php?cat=Maggy">Maggy</a><br>
<a href="get_cat_info.php?cat=Ginger">Ginger</a><br>
<a href="get_cat_info.php?cat=Shady">Shady</a><br>

...then in get_cat_info.php use $_GET['cat'] to construct the query to get the specific cat record from the db.
