PHP question..

[dezell123]

I wanna make a website in PHP. I want to recieve a query and show it on my page. I want to use the query's autoInc number and use it on my URL....like this test.php?ID=(autoincnumberhere)...how would I do this? you guys know what I mean,right? Is there a section in the PHP doc that teaches me how to do this? If so,tell me,becuase I cant find it..

thank you so much to anybody who can help me!

Simple.

1. Create a table in mysql that has auto incriment and is primary. (best to use a php tool called PHPMyAdmin)

2. Write something in the other fields

3. Query the table and show the results with links to yourpage.php?id=$result["id"]

4. Then in yourpage.php do
if(isset($id)) {
$result=mysql_query("select * from table where id=$id"
print($rest of the stof frum the results);
}


there is a few things missing like connecting to the database and all that, but you get the idea

isset is just that if the varible has not been set it sets it with no value. With php for iis and I think the newewst php version it gives you a error message.. pain in the ass
