A database for links

[dmj120]

Hello,
I've tried to search for anything like this, but i can't find what I'm looking for. Perhaps I'm using the wrong keywords.

I would like to know if I can create a db that 'houses' all of the links.

Example:
---------- db1 ----------
id url
home home.com/home.htm
about /aboutus.htm

so I could have:
<a link..... get id home>home</a>

All of my links are changing, I would like to set up a db that kept all of the addresses.

Thank you for any help you can offer.

This is a good idea if you want to be able to dynamically change a link and have all of your pages affected instead of changing each page one by one.

I'm not sure if a database is the best solution. Instead you could hardcode your links into an array, or something similar.

$links = array( 'home' => 'home.com/home.htm', 'about' => 'aboutus.htm' );
  
  echo '<a href="' . $links['about'] . '">About Us</a>'; 

This is just one solution. Your idea of placing them in a database isn't a bad one.

Hope that helps.
