specific links from multiple listings

[Anon]

I'm new to php and mysql so forgive me.

I'm able to generate a page with multiple listings (story headlines) from a specific column in a table in the db and a link for each one of those listings (I want the link to go to that specific story in the db). I'm stuck at being able to get the links to be a specific story and not all the stories in the db. Is this possible? Thanks for any help.

you are most likely selecting the data with this command:
mysql_query("SELECT field1 FROM table")
simply add the WHERE command:
mysql_query("SELECT field1 FROM table WHERE field2 = 'value'"

i am trying to do the same thing, but i want the query to be connected to the hyperlink.
for instance, i make table with hyperlinks. the hyperlink not only goes to another page, but also gets only certain records from a database and displays them on a page.

Will this work?
