Viewing data from a certain linked field from mysql table in PHP - php

Question

I'm stuck in a place where I want to view the other fields of a mysql table when I click onto a linked field.
Here is the code which is used to create a field into a link
<td><a href="fieldview.php?id=' .$row[0]. '"><b>' .$row[1]. '</b></td>
Here $row[0] is the field named "id" in mysql table(exampletable) & $row[1] is the field named "title".
Now, at the "fieldview.php" page I used this code to view other fields:
$id=$_GET['id'];
$sql="SELECT * FROM exampletable WHERE id= '$id'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo '<table id="customers">';
echo '<tr><th>Field 1</th> <th>Field 2</th> <th>Field 3</th></tr>';
echo '<tr class="alt"><td><b>' .$row[1]. '</b></td><td><b>' .$row[2]. '</b></td><td><b>Today!</b></td></tr>';
echo '</table>';
}
But I get nothing at that page. Please can anyone tell me what's the solution?

Answer 1

Try jakenoble's suggestion. if you dont see the problem maybe its due to how you construct your link in the first place.
try modifying to to something like this:
<td><b> <?php echo $row[1] ?></b></td>

Answer 2

Did you connected your database ?
FIRST CONNECT DB!!!!!!!!!
Try Echo:
echo $_GET['id'];
in your file.
But I get nothing at that page. Please can anyone tell me what's the solution?
Did you got the HTML table with nothing?
TRY the following:
<?php
// Create connection
$con=mysqli_connect("example.com","peter","abc123","my_db");
// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno($con))
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
echo $id=$_GET['id'];
$sql="SELECT * FROM exampletable WHERE id= '$id'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
?>
<table id="customers">
<tr><th>Field 1</th> <th>Field 2</th> <th>Field 3</th></tr>
<tr class="alt"><td><b><?php echo $row[0]; ?></b></td><td><b><?php echo $row[1]; ?></b></td><td><b>Today!</b></td></tr>
</table>
<?
}
?>
If you get no data in your HTML Tables then run the MySQL query in your Query browser with the ID to find you have data for the ID.
Do specify what you have tried?
