    <p>You've got some syntax errors/gotchas:</p> <pre><code>$helpfaerie = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM helpfaerie WHERE page = 'reportbug'")); </code></pre> <p>You assume the query works. This is bad practice. Even if the SQL statement itself is syntactically perfect, it can fail for any number of OTHER reasons. You should ALWAYS check for query success before doing anything with the result of a query. e.g.</p> <pre><code>$result = mysql_query(...); if ($result === FALSE) { die(mysql_error()); } </code></pre> <p>should be the bare minimum you have everywhere while developing/testing.</p> <pre><code>if ($helpfaerie2[helpfaerie] == 1) ^-- ^-- </code></pre> <p>You've neglected to quote the array key here. In this particular code snippet, the unquoted <code>helpfaerie</code> will be parsed as a <code>defined()</code> constant. However, it's probably not been defined, so PHP will "politely" auto-convert it into a string for you and throw a warning.</p> <p>Then immediately afterwards you have</p> <pre><code>{ echo "&lt;div id=\"helpfaerie\" </code></pre> <p>and output a massive blob of multi-line HTML. Yet later on you use a HEREDOC. Why not use one here too? It'd save you having to escape all of the <code>"</code> characters in your echo statement.</p> <pre><code>$page = mysql_real_escape_string($page); $page = stripslashes($page); $page = stripusers($page); </code></pre> <p>This makes not sense whatsoever. You escape $page properly, but then you do stripslashes, which essentially UNDOES the mysql_real_escape_string() call. While not totally accurate, you can consider m_r_e_s() to be an advanced version of <code>addslashes()</code>, so you're basically escaping, then unescaping again, leaving you vulnerable to SQL injection.</p> <p>I don't know what <code>stripusers()</code> does, but regardless, the order of operations should be</p> <pre><code>$page = stripusers($page); $page = mysql_real_escape_string($page); </code></pre> <p>m_r_e_s() should always be the <strong>LAST</strong> operation performed before you use that bit of data in a query string. If you do anything to an escaped string after the escaping has been done, you risk undoing the escaping and/or introducing another way for an injection attack to sneak in.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
