Hi everyone
First time to the forum, so please bear with me.
I want a links page (links.php) to show grouped categories and when followed links to show multiple records for that category.
So what have I done so far:
Multi record editor created called Links with fields Category / Website Name / Desc / URL.
Records entered for a small web site, so not really bothered about validation on the Category field.
Created a links.php (list page - showing category records only with link to linksdetail.php)
When click on link in links.php shows all records with that category name. is this just a simple MYSQL query (not that good with MYSQL queries)
Basically I want to group the records on links.php and show all records that match that category, so for example:
CATEGORY WEBSITE NAME DESC URL
Search Engine Google Some tex google.com
Search Engine Yahoo Some text yahoo.com
News Site CNN Some text cnn.com
So on the links page there should be 2 entries:
Search Engine and News Site
Then click on Search Engine and the Google and Yahoo links appear in linksdetail.php
Does that make sense? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Andy

Hi Andy
Could you post a link to your site so I can see the page in action? Also, could you post a copy of the links.php page as an attachment so I can see the code you are using?
Thanks!
