MySQL dynamic link to fetch the right row

Question

I have a MySQL-database with x rows. Now I want to interpret a link, fetch the right row and print this values.

E.g. Link: .html?row=3 -> Opens site which fetch row 3

If it really has to be by row number (which can change depending upon the where or order by clauses), you can use the limit clause:

SELECT * 
FROM Tabelle1
LIMIT 1000,1;

A much better design is to have a unique key, and select a row based on that:

SELECT * 
FROM Tabelle1
WHERE `id` = 1000;

Since you didn't include the schema of the table, I just made up a column name as an example.

To get the value passed to your php script, you can use:

$row_num = $_REQUEST['row'];
