<?php //Start session session_start(); //Check whether the session variable SESS_MEMBER_ID is present or not or to make sure that the user has not got a student membership if(!isset($_SESSION['SESS_MEMBER_ID']) || (trim($_SESSION['SESS_MEMBER_ID']) == ''|| ($_SESSION['SESS_MEMBER_TYPE']) == '')) { header("location: access_denied.php"); exit(); } //Check whether the session variable SESS_MEMBER_ID is present or not or to make sure that the user has not got a student membership if($_SESSION['SESS_MEMBER_TYPE'] == 'user'){ header("location: access_denied.php"); exit(); } //Include database connection details require_once('config.php'); //Connect to mysql server $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER ,DB_PASSWORD); if(!$link) { die('Failed to connect to server: ' . mysql_error()); } //Select database $db = mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE); if(!$db) { die("Unable to select database"); } $content =""; // query to get all records $qry = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Message order by messageID DESC"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($qry)){ $content .=" ".$row['timeDate']."

Either read the posted value of your ID variable ( $_POST[‘ID’] ) or turn your HREF’s into INPUT BUTTON’s with a picture in them as the background… Either way works… Good luck!
