Help pulling in 'id' with "read more" link

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

I'm trying to create snippets of my articles in the cms I'm creating, and then have them redirect to to a single
page entry of the article. Right now my snippets and "read more" links are dynamic and working fine, when I
click on the "read more" link it redirects to the 'single page entry' page, but it always pulls up the article
with id=1, even if the link is from id=23, and the adressbar reads articles.php?id=23.

How do I successfully pull up the corresponding id'd article?
any tips would be greatly appreciated!


Snippets:


Code: <?php
require("sources/connection.php");
$sql = "SELECT title, snippet, body_text, id FROM articles ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 5" ;
$result = $conn->query($sql) or die(mysqli_error());
if($result){
while ($row = $result->fetch_object()){
echo "<h4>" . $row->title . "</h4>";
echo $row->snippet;
echo "</br>";
echo "<a href='/jquery/articles.php?id=" . "$row->id'";
echo ">< Read more ></a>";
}
}
?>

Articles:
Code: <?php

require("sources/connection.php");
$sql = "SELECT title, body_text, id FROM articles LIMIT 1" ;
$result = $conn->query($sql) or die(mysqli_error());
if($result){
$row = $result->fetch_object();
echo "<h4>" . $row->title . "</h4>";
echo $row->body_text;
}
?>

SQL:

Code: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `articles` (
`id` int(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`rel_id` int(20) NOT NULL,
`title` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`snippet` longtext NOT NULL,
`body_text` longtext NOT NULL,
`who_id` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
`timestamp` int(20) NOT NULL,
`url` varchar(20) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=4 ;



Thanks in advance!
