Mysql Field Data not displaying when a link is clicked? - php

Question

I'm trying to get data from a database if a link is clicked.
I used the example codes suggested from this example -Getting mysql field data when a link is clicked?
But it doesn't work when I click on a link nothing comes up.
main.php
<?php
include('conn.php');
$sql2 = "SELECT Title FROM addpromo";
$result2 = mysql_query($sql2);
echo "<div id=\"links\">\n";
echo "<ul>\n";
while ($row2 = mysql_fetch_assoc($result2)) {
echo "<li> <a href=\"fullproject.php?title=\""
. urlencode($row2['Title']) . "\">"
. htmlentities($row2['Title']) . "</a>\n</li>";
}
echo "</ul>";
echo "</div>";
?>
This is displaying correct.but when I click at a link nothing is showing up in fullproject.php, Just a blank page.
fullproject.php
<?php
// Connect to server.
include('conn.php');
$projectname = isset($_GET['Title']);
$sql1 = "SELECT Title FROM addpromo WHERE Title = '$projectname'";
$result1 = mysql_query($sql1);
while ($row1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($result1)) {
echo "Project Name: " . $row1['Title'] . "<br />";
echo "<br /> ";
}
?>
Can someone help me to fix this, or any other way to make this(to get data from a database if a link is clicked) possible?

Answer 1

Change to this
main.php
<?php
include('conn.php');
$sql2="SELECT Title FROM addpromo";
$result2=mysql_query($sql2);
echo '<div id="links">';
echo '<ul>';
while($row2 = mysql_fetch_assoc($result2)){
echo '<li>'.htmlentities($row2['Title']).'</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
echo '</div>';
?>
fullproject.php
<?php
if(isset($_GET['title'])){
include('conn.php');
$projectname= $_GET['title'];
$sql1="SELECT Title FROM addpromo WHERE Title = '$projectname'";
$result1=mysql_query($sql1);
while($row1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($result1)) {
echo "Project Name: " . $row1['Title']. "<br />";
echo "<br /> ";
}
}
?>

This is storing a boolean value $projectname= isset($_GET['Title']);, whether or not the title is set. Instead use $projectname = $_GET['Title'];

Answer 3

isset returns a boolean value (true/false) and you want the actual value of the variable:
$projectname= $_GET['title'];
Furthermore, you have to pass only the title as the URL parameter, without enclosing it within quotes. So there is an error in this line:
echo "<li> <a href=\"fullproject.php?title=" . urlencode($row2['Title']) . "\">"
Note the lack of \" after title=
