Im trying to show a list of names or data the matches my mysql query as links and when I click on the name it will show the name of the rows info.
Example
On facebook, when you search for somebodies name it queries the databases for all names that matches the name and list them as links, then when you click on one of the names (which are links) their profile info will show up.
heres my code so far but it will only show the last person info...
$query = "SELECT * FROM $usertable WHERE status = '1'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error()) ;
$num = mysql_num_rows($result);
<?php echo"You have $num new entrees! <br/>";//shows # of new entrees
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$fname = $row['fname']; $username = $row['username']; $lname = $row['lname']; $email = $row['email']; $number = $row['number']; $street = $row['street']; $city= $row['city'];$zip = $row['zip'];$school = $row['school'];$major = $row['major'] ;
echo "<a href = 'entreeprofile.php'> $fname <br/></a>";
}
$_SESSION['fname'] = $fname;
$_SESSION['lname']= $lname;
$_SESSION['email'] = $email;
$_SESSION['number'] = $number;
$_SESSION['street']= $street;
$_SESSION['city']= $city;
$_SESSION['zip']= $zip;
$_SESSION['school']= $school;
$_SESSION['major']= $major;

Re: Help Mysql query link
The problem is that you are only hyper linking the name, but you are not passing any values to the page to query the database.
You would want to add a value such as the user name to the url query.
Then on your page you would want to grab that value to query.
Hope that helps
Code: Select all
echo "<a href = 'entreeprofile.php'> $fname <br/></a>";Code: Select all
echo "<a href = 'entreeprofile.php?firstname=" . $fname . "'> $fname <br/></a>";Code: Select all
if(isset($_GET['firstname'])){
$searchName = $_GET['firstname'];
}
// do your mysql query and echo the results based on the value passed to the page
