Display detail information

[tbcomputerguy]

I am an extremly novice at this php stuff. I have a file that displays a vehicle listing based on a xml feed. I am trying to add a link to another detail page by clicking on the words Full Detail (bolded below in the code) and send me to another page (index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6 (joomla)), the item detail page is based on the vehicle id and has the vehicle details show up. the detail page is also a xml file with the item info. I assume I have to use the <a href.... but how do I add the Id of the vehicle. Do I use a .($_Get['vehicleid']).

 

Follow me?
