links

Iv set up my pages so that when a user searches for something it returns
those results as a list, (i used a simple form for this). Now i want each
item in that list to be a link to a page that will give more information on
that item is this possible? I have the code for querying the database and
printing all the information out i just don't know how to send the variable,
to be queried, to this new page.

Hope that makes sense, im a php beginner and all help is appreciated David

I'm assuming that you have some unique ID in your database (like linkID or
something) that allows you to refer to a specific link - if so, just print
out something like:
<a href="moreinfo.php?linkID=whatever">blah</a> (fetch the linkid from the
database), and then on moreinfo.php, do something like
$id = intval($_GET['linkID');
mysql_query("SELECT whataever FROM links WHERE linkID='$id'");
....
