dynamic link, i think he means something like
echo "<a href=\"customer_details.php?customer=$customer\">Customer</a>\n";
or whatever, and as for making it so that you can include a "&" in the
$customer variable in the example above, try this;
echo "<a href=\"customer_details.php?customer=" . urlencode($customer) .
"\">Customer</a>\n";
