display a table entry on a page linked from table

[woodplease]

Hi. i've read the contents of a database to a table, and within that table, for each record, i've created a link to another page to display more information. my problem is that i'm not sure what code needs to go on the other page, to display this extra information. the extra information is from the same table. I know the code would need to read from the url, but thats about it.
my code from the original table is

echo "<TD>".$row['refnumber']."</TD>
<td><a href='description.php?id={$row[refnumber]}'>".stripslashes($row[title])."</a></td>
<TD>".$row['platform']."</TD>
<TD>".$row['price']."</TD>
\n";
echo "</TR>\n";

When i click the link, i get the following url
/description.php?id=8

Any help would be great

Thanks

You can either re-read the database, or pass the extra information using query string.

Another option is to save the data in a session variable/cookie, and read it back on the next page.

Users don't really like clicking over. You can hide the details and show if the user click on a link or image "details".
