Perhaps this is a dumb question

Is there a way to get an update query to fire off w/o using a form?

I have a page that shows new information requests. once my client views the detail page for each request I want the number of views to increase in count, so that new unviewed ones will only show on the first page. Kinda like a page view counter.

But I can't figure a way to do this. I know it must be simple, but i'm overlooking the obvious.

I'm using php/mysql.

you can get an update query to fire as long as the link to go to view the detail page actually goes to a page that can run a query before displaying the detail

like a coldfusion or php page

Thanks I figured it out and it wasn't so difficult.
