There are a lot of different ways of doing this.
An easy way would be using $_REQUEST variables in the URL, your hyperlink would look like:

Code: Select all

<a href=&quote;http://www.yourdomain.com/page.php?show=1&quote;>Link</a>
Then all you need to do is check in your script for the presence of this variable:

Code: Select all

if($_REQUEST["show"] == 1) {
   // show all rows
}
else {
   // only show some rows
}
