I've created a form to update my websites homepage with content but I wanted to know how I could set it up so that a posts title links to a specific post ID. I'd also like to add a Read More link that directs anybody reading the blog to the correct post.
Here is my PHP code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Blog Name</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
mysql_connect ('localhost', 'root', 'root') ;
mysql_select_db ('tmlblog');
$sql = "SELECT * FROM php_blog ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 5";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or print ("Can't select entries from table php_blog.<br />" . $sql . "<br />" . mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$date = date("l F d Y", $row['timestamp']);
$title = stripslashes($row['title']);
$entry = stripslashes($row['entry']);
$password = $row['password'];
$id = $row['id'];
if ($password == 1) {
echo "<p><strong>" . $title . "</strong></p>";
printf("<p>This is a password protected entry. If you have a password, log in below.</p>");
printf("<form method=\"post\" action=\"post.php?id=%s\"><p><strong><label for=\"username\">Username:</label></strong><br /><input type=\"text\" name=\"username\" id=\"username\" /></p><p><strong><label for=\"pass\">Password:</label></strong><br /><input type=\"password\" name=\"pass\" id=\"pass\" /></p><p><input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" id=\"submit\" value=\"submit\" /></p></form>",$id);
print "<hr />";
}
else { ?>
<p><strong><?php echo $title; ?></strong><br /><br />
<?php echo $entry; ?><br /><br />
Posted on <?php echo $date; ?>
<hr /></p>
<?php
}
}
?>
</body>
</html>
Thanks for any help. I really appreciate any input!
