Hyperlink in PHP to MySQL record

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

Hello,

I am having trouble as i am new to php. I have connected to the database and I have displayed the fields i want on my page. I need to access certain fields by links to each letter.

For example A will link to the products starting with A and so on.

I am using PHP ad MySQL. The database is however on a different server. I only have the .php file at the moment and want to display the data on a HTML page.

I am just unsure of how to make a link to the product field and the price field and display them within a table.
My code is this so far..

<?php
// Connect to the database server
mysql_connect("host", "username", "psssword") or die(mysql_error());

// Open to the database
mysql_select_db("telephon_cscartrestore") or die(mysql_error());

//select records from table
$result = mysql_query("SELECT cscart_product_descriptions.product, cscart_product_prices.price FROM cscart_product_descriptions, cscart_product_prices ORDER BY cscart_product_descriptions.product ASC") or die(mysql_error());

echo "<table border='1'>";
echo "<tr> <th>Product</th> <th>Price</th> </tr>";
// keeps getting the next row until there are no more to get
while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {
// Print out the contents of each row into a table
echo "<tr><td>";
echo $row['product'];
echo "</td><td>";
echo $row['price'];
echo "</td></tr>";
}

echo "</table>";

?>
I want a link 'A' that opens all records starting in A and so on. Is this possible?

thanks
