new to php... i'm sure this is easy... please help...
by puzzle78 - 5/8/06 4:25 PMhey,
so i have this site i'm working on. using php. it's kind of like a 'blog'. updates go into the database, the main page will automatically display the 5 newest entries. my question is this. how can i set up an 'archives' type page, where people can access all of the older updates?
i want the title of all of the updates to be displayed, the user clicks one, that update is shown in my template.
i know this can be done, and i know it can't be that hard... can anyone give me a hand?
thank you in advance.

i actually have that part working...
what i want to do is set it up so that people can click on the links and the body of the title they pick will be shown on my template.
i guess what i need to know is how to pass variables (the id of the 'entry') from one page to another. then i can simply do a select * from updates where id=($passedVariableForStoryIWant)
