[ammo]

If i was creating a forum for instance i have the post.php which adds the post to the forum with an id an post,username etc. How could i make post.php view that post. You see in forums such as this one they have post.php?id=1 how would i make my post.php view that post in the database.

im no good at explaining :tri:

Keeping in mind that I have no idea which database server you're using, this might not be of much help to you. But for our purposes, we can assume you're using MySQL. So you'd probably want to run a query like this:

$sql = "
    SELECT `col1`, `col2`, `col3`
    FROM `table`
    WHERE `id` = {$_GET['id']}";
$result = @mysql_query($sql, $link) or die(mysql_error());    
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
