links in searches

[Anon]

another question - im trying to figure out how to display search resutlts as links which will then link to the specific field's dettailed information.
FOr example, i do a search for a specific topic and it would return the headings of the different results which are displayed as links, then i would click on one of the results which would then output the detailed information on that specific topic.
thanks for any help.

try
<code>echo '<a href="showit.php?id=$id">$name</a>';</code>

If you had a table with an id, short name and then a big text field then showit would be passed the id and could then query the table and give back the short name and text. However the user just clicks on the short name.

Dummy up a table and create a test script to see how it works, then apply to your situation.
