display an information in a page from another page in php

Question

I'm building a chat system and I have a list of friend display on a page, so what I want actually is to display a div with a friend username at the top of the div went the friend name is clicked as that of Facebook.

chat.php

<a href="view.php?id=<?php echo $rowf['friend_uid'].'<br>'; ?>">
<?php echo $rowf['friend_uid'].'<br>'; ?></a>

view.php

if(isset($_GET["id"])){
   echo '<div class="chat">'.$_GET[ "id"].'</div>';    
}

how will I echo data in view.php in chat by clicking on the username with a link to view.php

Answer 1

1. when you click the friend name fetch the friend_id and user_id
2. Use a query to fetch the records from message table between this two id
3. display the fetched records in the format you wanted to print
