Question

I’m trying to create a table with links that return a ‘mf_id’ value and its corresponding ‘Manufacturer’ value. I can do one at a time, but when I try to combine the two, problems begin to crop up. Here’s what I have so far:

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td><a href=\"list.php?mf_id&&Manufacturer=" . $row['mf_id'&&'Manufacturer'] . "\">" . $row['Manufacturer'] . "</a></td>";
echo "</tr>";
}

and the other page:

    $numb = $_GET['mf_id'];
$name = $_GET['Manufacturer'];
echo "<h1>$name</h1>";
$result=mysql_query("select * from Products where mf_id=$numb");

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You’re only passing mf_id into the page, you are not passing Manufacturer.

Edit (as you’ve changed your code)

Change:

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
  echo "<tr>";
  echo "<td><a href=\"list.php?mf_id&&Manufacturer=" . $row['mf_id'&&'Manufacturer'] . "\">" . $row['Manufacturer'] . "</a></td>";
  echo "</tr>";
}

To:

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
  echo "<tr>";
  echo "<td><a href=\"list.php?mf_id=".$row['mf_id']."&Manufacturer=" . $row['Manufacturer'] . "\">" . $row['Manufacturer'] . "</a></td>";
  echo "</tr>";
}
