This is very easy.....and there are many ways to do it.
The easiest way using mysql is to create your database with just the one table which has an aunto_incrementing ID int(4) field that would be the primary key and then a blob or text field for your text.
Download phpmyadmin from www.phpwizard.net
Then on each link to each page you can have something like:
<a href="<?php $PHP_SELF?ID=2 ?>">link 2</a>
Then in your index page you have something like this at the top:
<?PHP
//failsafe which will display the first page if there is no ID in the url.
if(!$ID)
{
$ID = "1";
}
?>
//start your table here or whatever your gonna display it in
<?php
//now open database
$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuser = "";
$dbpass = "";
$dbname = "";
$db = mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass);
mysql_select_db("$dbname",$db);
//now query the database
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table WHERE ID = '$ID'");
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($sql))
{
print ("$row[text];");
}
?>
//end your table here and continue on with your webpage!
