Hi all I need a bit of advice. I am developing an e-commerce site for people who would like to advertise/sell their boats online . My problem is, when the user request a list of all boats for sale their will be a list of boats displayed with a link next to the boats so they can click and view just that boat. This page will then be written dynamically, but how do I know which link the user pressed. I know that I could use a button and have the value as the boat sellers id but I would prefer a link. Any suggestions would be appreciated. thx

Presumably all the boats details would be stored ina database of some kind.
So with each boat record, have a unique ID number.
Then when you dynamically generate your links append the id number for that boat to the link.
for example:
The script in "boatDetails.php" then retrieves a record from the database with the corresponding id number.
