Getting ID from a presented table

I'm having a MySQl table wih a lot of information. I want to present some
main fields in a table on one page. Each record do, of course, have a unique
ID. The presnted table will have one field as a linked field. I want to be
able to click this link, retreive the ID information for that record and
then present detailed data for that record on the next page.
How do I retreive the ID?
Any hints are very much appreciated.
Thanks

I think I get the idea but I don't know how to doo that. Can you give me an
aidea of how such a link with, I guess, embedded ID would look like?

Furthermore, if I click a link on a displayed record I can only get
information from the link of the last displayed record. How to get
information of the ID from any of the earlier displayed records?

If you want to get information from previously displayed records you're
going to have to save them and pass them along somehow - i.e in a
session or hidden fields in your form.

No, I do not know how to do that in HTML.
But, once again, the problem is that I have a number of records presented in
a table. All records do have unique ID. When preseneted by the hTML page
they are parsed into "hard-coded" HTML and although I can have a field to
act as a link I can't get the ID for the special record I am selecting. Only
the ID for the last presented record will come through since that ID is
still present in the array. Any hint of how to get the ID from any selected
record?

Here is the essential part of the code with the presneted table where one of
the records field will be a link. I want to retreive the ID for any selefted
record from, say, 25 presented.

mysql_select_db ('db2') or die ('Unable to select database!');
// create and execute query
$query = "SELECT ID, DATE_FORMAT(add ate, '%m-%d') AS adday,
DATE_FORMAT(add ate, '%H:%i')as adtime, addate, adnamn, adcat,
adheader,adtext ,adprice,adcats .catname FROM ads, adcats where ads.adcat =
adcats.catid order by ID DESC";
$result = mysql_query($qu ery)
or die ('Error in query: $query. ' . mysql_error());
// check if records were returned
if (mysql_num_rows ($result) 0)
{
// iterate over record set
// print each field

echo '<h2>Test on data retrieval from the data base</h2></br>';
echo '<table border=0 cellpadding=2 width = 100% bgcolor="#FFFF9 9"
bordercolor="#F FFFFF">';
echo '<tr>
<td>Ad-No.</td>
<td>Day</td>
<td>Time</td>
<td>Ad-header</td>
<td>Price CI$</td>
<td>Category</td>

</tr>';

while($row = mysql_fetch_obj ect($result))

{
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td width=5% bgcolor="#FFFFF F" align = "right">' . ($row->ID) .
'</td>';
echo '<td width=4% bgcolor="#FFFFF F">' . ($row->adday) . '</td>';
echo '<td width=5% bgcolor="#FFFFF F">' . ($row->adtime) . '</td>';
echo '<td width=40% bgcolor="#FFFFF F">' . '<a href= "advertinfo.php " >' .
($row->adheader) . '</td>';
echo '<td width = 6% bgcolor="#FFFFF F" align = "right">' . ($row->adprice) .
'</td>';
echo '<td width = 18% bgcolor="#FFFFF F">' . ($row->catname) . '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
}

echo '</table>';

}
else
{
// print error message
echo 'No rows found!';
}

bordercolor="#F FFFFF">';
echo '<tr>

<td>Time</td>
<td>Ad-header</td>
<td>Price CI$</td>
<td>Category</td>

</tr>';

while($row = mysql_fetch_obj ect($result))

{
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td width=5% bgcolor="#FFFFF F" align = "right">' . ($row->ID) .
'</td>';
echo '<td width=4% bgcolor="#FFFFF F">' . ($row->adday) . '</td>';
echo '<td width=5% bgcolor="#FFFFF F">' . ($row->adtime) . '</td>';
echo '<td width=40% bgcolor="#FFFFF F">' . '<a href= "advertinfo.php " >' .
($row->adheader) . '</td>';
echo '<td width = 6% bgcolor="#FFFFF F" align = "right">' . ($row->adprice) .
'</td>';
echo '<td width = 18% bgcolor="#FFFFF F">' . ($row->catname) . '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
}

echo '</table>';

}
else
{
// print error message
echo 'No rows found!';
}

OK, if you're going to make it a link, you have to pass the id as a
parameter in the link, i.e.

echo '<td width=40% bgcolor="#FFFFF F">' . '<a href= "advertinfo.php ?id='
.. $row['id'] . " >' . ($row->adheader) . '</td>';

This will pass the link as "advertinfo.php ?id=3", for example.

Then in advertinfo.php you use access it with $_GET['id'].

Be sure to use isset($_GET['id']) in case someone comes to this page
without an id being passed.
