Andre,
The following code block is from a site I'm developing for a local museum.
The site is now located at www.ironorchid.com/museum/ but will move
eventually to its own site. In it, I have a list of the landmark trees,
with links to a map showing the location of the tree, a link to
maps.yahoo.com to get a detailed map of the location and or driving
directions, and links to show all the trees in an area of the city. In
other words, the table is link crazy--sounded enough like what you want to
do that I responded to your question. All of the data in the html table
comes from a mysql database with three database tables (heritage, trees,
sites).
If you use the mysql_fetch_array() command in a WHILE statement, you create
an array of the row or rows resultant from your query and have the mysql
column titles as your array keys. You can then use the <a href= html tag to
put a link under the words in your table cells and generate the html code to
go to the next row of data.
As I said earlier, I have the bad habit of writing everything in php once I
need it on a page, so the code block might be a bit hard to read. Let me
know if you need further details on what's provide.
Hope this helps,
Hugh
