You need to make a script (lets call it "show.php") that accepts this ID as in input variable, so it would be called by using: http://www.xxx.com/data/show.php?itemid=23 Then in your code: print ("<a href= http://xxx.com/data/show.php?itemid="); print $row["id"]; print (">"); Also, consider: print ("<a href= http://xxx.com/data/" . $row["id"] . ">"); ... for neatness. The "." concatenates (joins) strings. In the resulting script, $itemid will be the value passed in, in this case "23". You then need to "SELECT * FROM <youritemtable> WHERE <youridfield> = $itemid" to get the item's attributes, and output them accordingly.
