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;

Better chance for reply when you post database questions in the database forum.
