mysql and php to show data using ?=

[xensor]

i am looking or wondering how to go about making a php script where i can show the records from mysql to the site using php and when i click on its link it loads up ex: family.php?id=1 and it will bring up the member of that id up with the info in the database.

i can't seem to figure it out or what to search for.

i have searched it would be thankful if someone could help me out with this.

btw if your wondering what i am talking about this is what i am talking about:

phpbb or smf has it same as wordpress. if you click on a thread it shows showforum.php?action=forum or viewtopic.php?action=forum or something like that. i know its mysql and php and it loads a record into the site by connection to the database. i got that part but how to get it to show up in pages wise.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, xensor.

The next step after database connection and executing the query would be to process the result set. Have a look at the examples on this PHP manual page:

[php.net...]

This quickstart guide should get you pointed in the right direction.

ok but still doesn't explain how to use get id and show it on a different page when you put a read more link

You process the variable from the $_GET superglobal.

[php.net...]

Scrub the user-supplied data to be sure it is what you expect, in this case I assume an integer value. Then you can use that value in your query.
