How do you create a link from data retrieved from the database

I have products stored in a database. These items have ID, NAME, QUANTITY, and STOCK_NUMBER fields. I want to make an href for all of the data in the database:

$Result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Products");
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($Result)){ 

href .....


}  

I want the result like this

item_id=1&name_1_tv&quantity_1=2&stock_number_1=1411 &item_id=2&name_2_mobile&quantity_2=5&stock_number_2=5894 &item_id=3&name_3_radio&quantity_3=2&stock_number_3=18541 &item_id=4&name_4_tv&quantity_4=2&stock_number_4=1025 &item_id=5&name_5_computer&quantity_5=1&stock_number_5=1455 &item_id=6&name_6_cd&quantity_6=2&stock_number_6=5888

all these under the link

Use http_build_query().

while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($Result)) // note the change to assoc
 { 
     $query = http_build_query($row);
     echo "&$query<br>";
 }

Note that GET requests have very low maximum length limits. IE chokes on URLs longer than 2 kilobytes, for example.
