My page has a list of links generated from a db. The links reference a second page, which displays multiple records from the db to include the referenced one. I need that page to load to the selected record based on the link from the previous page, with the other records ouputted before and after the selected record. Since the selected record's location will vary on the page I need to use the html <a href=name> anchors. The names of these anchors are also generated from the database. The second page is loading to the top of the page, regardless of the anchors, which appear correctly in the html source code. I suspect this is because my include header files are being sent to the browser before the anchors are generated. In ASP I could set the buffer to send the output to the browser all at once, which would solve this problem (I think) but I can find nothing similar in PHP. Is there anything? Or is there another way around this problem? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
