Redirecting to a dynamic page
- by binarydev
I have a page displaying blog posts (latest_posts.php) and another page that display single blog posts (blog.php) . I intend to link the image title in latest_posts.php so that it redirects to blog.php where it would display the particular post that was clicked.
latest_posts.php:
<!-- Header -->
<h2 class="underline">
<span>What's new</span>
<span></span>
</h2>
<!-- /Header -->
<!-- Posts list -->
<ul class="post-list post-list-1">
<?php
/* Fetches Date/Time, Post Content and title */
include 'dbconnect.php';
$sql = "SELECT * FROM wp_posts";
$res = mysql_query($sql);
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($res) ) {
?>
<!-- Post #1 -->
<li class="clear-fix">
<!-- Date -->
<div class="post-list-date">
<div class="post-date-box">
<?php
//Timestamp broken down to show accordingly
$timestamp = $row['post_date'];
$datetime = new DateTime($timestamp);
$date = $datetime->format("d");
$month = $datetime->format("M");
?>
<h3> <?php echo $date; ?> </h3>
<span> <?php echo $month; ?> </span>
</div>
</div>

How do I render?
