You could do several things.
1) Use javascript to make a link using the band3 value within the Javascript
to pass the ID to the next page.
Example:
Have a Javascript function -
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function openWin(band_id) {
var link
link = my/directory/display.php?band_id=' + band_id;
MyWin = window.open(link,"OpenPage");
MyWin.focus();
}
//-->
</script>
And then call that function when you click on the band you want.
<a href="javascript:openWin('<?php echo $band_id; ?>')"><?php echo $band;
?></a>
2) You could use form objects (radio buttons/check boxes/dropdown box etc)
to pass the band_id value via POST
Then on your second page all you would have to do is get the value.
Example:
<input type="radio" tabindex="1" name="band" value="<?php echo $band_id;
?>">
<input type="radio" tabindex="2" name="band" value="<?php echo $band_id;
?>">
<input type="radio" tabindex="3" name="band" value="<?php echo $band_id;
?>">
On the second page you would simply check the posted value of you "band"
radio input:
$band_id = $_POST['band'];
Hope that helps.
