Clicked link text

[c19h28o2]

Hi,

I have created a table on the fly from mysql

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {

echo "<tr>";
echo "<td class='body'><a href='#'>".$row['au_id']."</a></td>";
echo "<td class='body'>".$row['au_fname']."</td>";
echo "<td class='body'>".$row['au_lname']."</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}

is there anyway of getting the current clicked au_id? i would like the
user to click the id to display more information but I'm unsure how to
get the currently clicked id...

Thanks

One way:

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
$auid = $row['au_id'];
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td class='body'><a
href='moreinfo.php?id=$auid'>".$row['au_id']."</a></td>";
//or something like
//echo "<td class='body'><a
href='moreinfo.php?id={$row['au_id']}'>".$row['au_id']."</a></td>";
//which I find really ugly :)
echo "<td class='body'>".$row['au_fname']."</td>";
echo "<td class='body'>".$row['au_lname']."</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}

On moreinfo.php, you'd have

<?php
$auid = $_GET["id"];

//do something with that particular author...
?>
