How do I access the database from a website

I have a need to access certain parts of the database without people always starting from the beginning. I assume the login will always happen, but how do I figure out exact hyperlinks to the particular part of the database (for example, a Recruiter wants to go right to the recruiter part of the database or I want an employer to see data from the database, but dynamically shown from a website and not necessarily from a phprunner formatted database - although they do look so nice, I must say)

Not sure how you can link to part of the database. You can link to any specific page - just copy this page URL from browser's address line and paste it to another page.

You know, that would be obvious (duh).
However, is it possible to access tables and field data through php on a website outside of a phprunner database website?

There is a lot of info on the internet for this:

I can't guess what you mean by direct access.

You will need some sorta server-side code to access a database over the web.

Besides PHP/SQL, there are a number of other means to access databases on servers.

Usually some logic is required to validate the data been entered, and to format the display (PHPR has all this).

Also to facilitate & provide rules for concurrent access (PHP/MySQL has all this).
If PHP runner (or a customized concise view) doesn't work for you, then consult a programmer.

I can't imagine what would be easier though. PHPR is essentially plug 'n play.
