Question

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    echo "<tr>";
        echo "<td>" . $row['mf_id'] . "</td>";
        echo "<td>" . $row['Manufacturer'] . "</td>";
    echo "</tr>";
}

I want to make the Manufacturer column clickable and return the value of the corresponding mf_id value to another page

Answer 1

I think this is what you are looking for.

Try this:

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

So when you click the link you will be brought to the page “yourlink.php”.
If you want the value that was in $row[‘mf_id’] do this:

$mf_id = $_GET['mf_id']

$mf_id will now hold the value that was passed to the page.
