Blog category

[carebearlol]

Hello,
I have made a script with which you can add new categories to your blog, although, all the script does it just insert the category name into the database and thats it, because I honestly do not know what to do at this point.
Do I need to create an entirely new page with the correct ID or how does it usually work when one adds a new category.
If I dont create an entirely new page for example myblog.com/id=x, how can I determine what value to retrieve from the database?
From what I can tell generating a new page is the only way, but then again I am quite new to this.

Please let me know how this is usually handled.

Regards.

normally, on a page where you insert a new blog article, you should build a select list for the category , populated from the categories table. You should have a primary key added in your categories table, this integer value will saved into your blog_articles table (called as an foreign key).

With a category list, you can pass this category ID , like: listarticles.php?catid=X

in listarticles.php you retrieve the passed ID in $_GET["catid"], you can list the articles table by this catid.
