links hrefs

[Anon]

How do I put an href into a result. I want to have my results turn into links. Right now I have to type in a number to continue my navigation through my site. For example, I have a list of names, and then if you want more info about those names, you have to enter the number next to the names to continue to the next page. I just want to be able to click on the name to go to more information about the name.

Thanks. Barry

When you read the names from a database (I presume you are using a database as this is a database forum), you output the id of the name next to the link, for example;

echo "<a href=\"showname.php3?nameid=$row[id]\">$row[name]</a>";

Put this is some kind of loop when reading the output from the table and then in your showname.php3 script, you just need to go back to the table with the id to get the persons details.
