Get individual ID of ROW, and make the result linkable - php

Question

I need to get the 'id' column from my table 'reports' to get the unique value and make it linkable.
The link of the element has this format: http://www.mysite.com/id, (coma included)
Can you help me how to get the info from id column and make it clikable in the results?

mysql_connect($HostName,$UserName,$MySQLPassword)

$allowed_order = array ('name','description');
if (!isset ($_GET['order']) ||
!in_array ($_GET['order'], $allowed_order)) {
$order = $default_sort;

I don't see the query in your code but the general idea is as follows:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT id, name FROM reports WHERE field = value") or die(mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo '' . $row['name'] . '';
}
Keep in mind the mysql_* functions are deprecated. You should use mysqli or PDO.
