A combination of forms initially return a short-list of possibles to browse
to. Titles column is hotlinked.

| What I want to avoid: Creating 2000 identical full details HTML pages to sit on the server. As the titles change, appear and disappear... all I want |
to do is edit the database and the new pages must be served!!! Like magic!!!
I mean.... this is what this stuff does.... doesn't it???
I am self taught php for only 6 months... and if any one confirm that this
is what is meant by a template, I would very much appreciate it. And if
so... can you also direct me to the appropriate tutorial?
thanking you in advance

Of course! When you generate the links you use the row id. So you'd
end up with something like:
<a href='details.php?id=123>Link to record 123</a>
<a href='details.php?id=124>Link to record 124</a>
<a href='details.php?id=125>Link to record 125</a>
On your details page $_GET['id'] will contain the id of the record you
need. Sanitise the value (look up mysql_real_escape_string) and use it
to fetch the details from the database.
