simple question I think...about PHP/mySQL

I want to make a website that starts with letters A thru Z .

Click on the letter A you get a list of surnames beginning with A....

Click on surname A..... you get a table with all the information from a
mySQL on the people with that surnames.

My simple question is about clicking the letter A or surname A.....

What do I use, I can only find information about using FORM with "post"
or "get" I cannot work out how to use them in the above example.

The table is not a problem as I have found many examples?

I see this on WAREZ sites and others but how dos it work.....Puzzled

Try this ...

For the link for linkA and surnameA:
// Link for clicking on letter A
<a rel="nofollow" style='text-decoration: none;' href="http://www.yourwesite.com/look_script.php?type=link&startwith=A" target="_blank">http://www.yourwesite.com/look_script.php?type=link&startwith=A</a>

// Link for clickin on actual ppl with surname "goodman"
<a rel="nofollow" style='text-decoration: none;' href="http://www.yourwesite.com/look_script.php?type=surname&name=goodman" target="_blank">http://www.yourwesite.com/look_script.php?type=surname&name=goodman</a>


Since the value is on the address you have to use $_GET to get the value.

-------------------------------
In your 'look_script.php' <- this script work as ur index and ur
lookup too

if (!empty($_GET['type'])){
do ur magic here: is it linkA or surnameA?
}
else {
show the A to Z listing
}


Hope that helps,
