Passing mysql data between pages

[ianrobson]

Hi, I am a new mysql user and have setup a news database for my website. What I am listing on the "articles.asp" page is a list of the headings along with posting date. Each of the headings is a hyperlink to the "content.asp" page showing the content for that heading.

What I'm trying to achieve is that when a user clicks on a heading, it opens the content for that heading. My primary key is article_number which isn't mentioned anywhere. I have managed to achieve what I want, but when the content contains html, the link fails to work. Spaces are shown as %??

I'm really stumped... I could send further details if anyone has an idea what I'm mumbling on about!! I'm really new to all this so any guidance with sql books or similar would be great.

Yours hopefully,
Ian.

insufficient information to answer

if you are trying to store HTML formatted stuff in a text field and pass it onto your page using ASP you will have a lot of trouble but it can be done.
in that case I think that your post would be more appropriate in the ASP forum.

If you are simply having problems escaping all html <&quot;/' stuff then we can help you.

Thanks - I managed to resolve it - I was returning html coding in the address bar - fixed now.

Thanks.
