new and seeking help

Hi,

I am learning php and mysql.

I am looking to learn how to use an anchor tag to query a datbase.

<a href="my_parsin g_script.php">i tem to be searched for</a>

and then return the data to a page.

I have figured out how to 'echo' my page elements so the style is the same.

I just can't find the info on calling and parsing my database.

Any links, tutorials or outright scripts would be much appreciated.

Thanks

What you need is a MySql tutorial (or whatever db you use). And there are zillions of these tutorials on the web. Just to pick one:

O'Reilly publishers has an excellent series of free, online MySQL tutorials in their LAMP series. Start with the following link:
