hi. i was wondering if the knowledgeable people on this list could help me out with a
problem i'm having.
what i need is this:
i want a single page that with a variable taken from a database, will display a
different page depending on the name of a band.
http://www.site.com/bands.php?artist=thebandsname
'artist' being the column from the database and 'thebandsname' being a specific row in
the 'artist' column
so basically what i need is some kind of statement sorta like this:
<--- start --->
<?
if(isset($id)) {
$file=$id.".php";
include($file);
}
else {
echo "please specify a band";
}
?>
<--- end --->
but instead of including a file, i wanna include a row from a specific column, a
little like
select * from table where artist = 'thebandsname'
so if anyone could help me with this or point me in the right direction, i'd be very
appreciative. also, if you don't understand what i mean, please feel to ask and i'll
try and explain a little better.
thanks in advance,
Matt Nigh
