your echo is outputting the values of `$item_link` and `$item_title` to the page. they'll insert that data just fine if you assigned them values somewhere in your `// yada yada ..code ...` code section (while ignoring your non paramatized array) – Memor-X Aug 15 '16 at 05:02

1first don't use deprecated and removed `mysql_*` library. turn to `mysqli_*` or `PDO`. Also it's unclear what you really want to achieve – Anant Kumar Singh Aug 15 '16 at 05:03

No, they have values. the each is print out a link and I want that link to trigger the insert. How do I get code that into the link – user315819 Aug 15 '16 at 05:04

Your question looks incomplete. Post what you need exact. Use mysqli_* as suggested by @Anant – Naresh Kumar P Aug 15 '16 at 05:04

I just want that link that gets echoed to trigger the insert. Im not sure i wrote it right. – user315819 Aug 15 '16 at 05:05

After link click if you want to trigger insert then:- 1. create a new page which your link have, like suppose your link is `` then create abc.php and write the insert query there.2 Or on the link click just use ajax to send link and title to a php page and do the insert code there (then your link page will not refreshed) – Anant Kumar Singh Aug 15 '16 at 05:07

If the link is in the same page you could write using the $_REQUEST for inserting into the DB . if it points to another page you can't write it in this page to insert. – Naresh Kumar P Aug 15 '16 at 05:09

in that case on the page you link to you either put in some code that gets the [current url](http://stackoverflow.com/q/6768793/1028804) and run your query on that page or you use javascript to ajax to a php file sending the url to it and having it insert before you move off the page – Memor-X Aug 15 '16 at 05:09
