simple link issue that I cant figure out

[pitsy]

Ok i am a bit of a newby when it comes to php i (with help of dreamweaver! :? ) have created a sql query it is as follows

Code: Select all
SELECT articles.art_id, articles.title, articles.teaser, articles.article FROM articles ORDER BY articles.updated DESC LIMIT 10";

I want to display the title and the teaser (this works fine no issues!!)
The trouble that i am having is displaying the the main article when a user clicks the read more link i have tried the following code and various other combinations and i can NOT get it to work (i am not happy can anyone give me a head start please???

Code: Select all
<a href="articles.php?article=<?php echo $row_getRecent['art_id'];?>">read more...</a>

What doesn't work? So far all you've shown us is code that generates a link. Does the ID get populated correctly in the link?

If so, it's hard for us to say what the problem is since you didn't show us the relevant code from articles.php that uses that id value to retrieve the appropriate content.
