Dynamic pages using php - php

Question

I am trying to create dynamic pages on my website, but it fails.
When I try the code on Xampp it works perfect. There is another thing that I don't understand.
It will catch the id, but not the title or anything with characters from the database.
When I try $title = $_GET['title']; it won't work. It works only with $_GET['id'];
Any help?
Here is the code:
index.php
<?php
include('inc/code.inc.php');
$fetch = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `star` ORDER BY `title`");
while ($output = mysql_fetch_assoc($fetch))
{
echo ''. $output['title'] .'<br />';
}
?>
run.inc.php
<?php
include_once('inc/code.inc.php');
$newID = $_GET['id'];
$fetch = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `star` WHERE `id` = $newID");
while ($output = mysql_fetch_assoc($fetch))
{
echo $output['title'] . '<br />' . $output['explain'];
}
?>
Here is the code that won't work:
index.php
<?php
include('inc/code.inc.php');
$fetch = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `star` ORDER BY `title`");
while ($output = mysql_fetch_assoc($fetch))
{
echo ''. $output['title'] .'<br />';
}
?>
run.inc.php
<?php
include_once('inc/code.inc.php');
$newID = $_GET['title'];
$fetch = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `star` WHERE `title` = $newID");
while ($output = mysql_fetch_assoc($fetch))
{
echo $output['title'] . '<br />' . $output['explain'];
}
?>

Answer 1

Add title to your URL GET parameter please..Like you have added ID
<?php
include('inc/code.inc.php');
$fetch = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `star` ORDER BY `title`");
while ($output = mysql_fetch_assoc($fetch))
{
echo '<a href = "run.inc.php?id='. $output['id'] .'"'.'?title='. $output['title'] .'</a><br />';
}
?>
Modify the url according to your needs please.

Answer 2

If you are comparing a string like $_GET['title'] to the column, you need to escape it (as opposed to a numeric ID, which does not need to be escaped).
Try this for run.inc.php
$newID = $_GET['title'];
$fetch = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `star` WHERE `title` = '$newID'");
while ($output = mysql_fetch_assoc($fetch))
{
echo $output['title'] . '<br />' . $output['explain'];
}
?>
