Hello all, seems like I keep asking questions, and haven't ever really been
able to answer anybody elses. Someday, right?
Anyway, my question:
I have a simple database with idnum, title, song, and date. I'd like to have
the title and date in a simple, two column html table, with as many rows as
needed (obviously). I'd like to create this dynamically. This part I can do.
But, what I'd *really* like to have, is the title being a hyperlink which
would dynamically open up a (dynamically created) page with the chosen song.
TITLE DATE
----------
abc 1997
def 1998
xyz 1982
etc.
Click on "abc" and the ABC song comes up.
Someone said I can simply embed the idnum into the URL for my links. I think
this makes sense. But honestly, I don't really know what i'd do with idnum
embedded URL link once I had it. Does anybody have any suggestions/links
they can point me to so I can figure out how to utilize this embedded link
in my php file?
For the record, I've been playing with php/MySQL a little bit, and I can
create a file that would show any/all of my song records, I just can't
figure out how to display one utilizing that dang embedded URL thing.
as always, tia,
