I'm turning to this forum once again as this forum has helped me learn a great deal.

I'm hoping that it is possible to pull data from a table and link to it. In short, I simply need to be able to pull a field from the database and insert it into a web link.

Here is the link and the 'link_id' is where I want the code to pull the data from. The tables are linked correctly as I can display the link_id in the table. The only problem I'm having is creating the link.



So, to be clear, my site uses the same first part of the link and the only difference is the link_id. I can get the first part of the link to appear by using this code but I can't get the link_id number to show up in the link.

Any help, much appreciated.

Assuming that you assigned the reference in the view;
just try adding a $this pointer to retrieve it.

Thanks so much...

Could you help me walk through this a little. How do I assign a reference in the view?

I'm a novice in PHP but I'm a quick learner.

Thanks so much,

I almost hate to write this but I think I have figured it out...

Here is the new code that now generates the appropriate link_id from the table:


It 'appears' the target="new" code was creating an error. I removed the target and it seems to be working AWESOME now.

Thought I'd let everyone know if you too are experiencing this problem.
