hi, I'm working on a search results page. actually i have my search form and search results page working fine already. but i want to add something on the "results page". my search "results page" shows the following fields: lastname, firstname, middlename, yeargrad. what i want is that the lastname results should be linked to a "more details" page. so for example, if i have a search result with 'garcia' as the lastname..i click on that and i should be transferred to a page showing me more details of that garcia..showing me more than just his/her firstname,middlename, and yeargrad. What should i use as my sql statement for the "more details" page? And how do i tell the detail page to show which records to retrieve and display? By the way, here's part of the code that i have for the results page: // <?php // // include_once ("connect.php"); // // $sql = "Select * from alumni where yeargrad = ('$search') OR lastname like ('%$search%') OR country like ('%$search%') order by lastname"; // $rs = mysql_query($sql,$db); // // if (!$r = mysql_fetch_object($rs)) { // echo "No record found. Please try again."; // exit; // } // // $rs = mysql_query($sql,$db); // while ($r = mysql_fetch_object($rs)){ // echo "<br>$r->lastname"; // } // ?> if anyone can please help me. thanks. // MM Fernandez _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
