PHP and databases
Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2008 9:59 am
I am extremely new to php, actually this is only my 5th day or so working with it. I've taught myself how to use it with my Microsoft Access database to pull in data. I've also figured out how to make the data I pull in into links.
My database is a huge listing of processes for my office mainframe. Right now there are over 400 in it and its less than halfway done. Each job has certain information about it that the user needs to view by clicking on the specific job. What I'm wondering, is if there is a way to display the information without creating 1000 pages. Is my best bet to have one LONG page with all of the Jobs and their info(with a "name" link) and route the users to that place on the page? Or is there another way I can do this so that only the information I want shows on a single page?
