hi all,

ok basically I am working on a project which requires me to use hyperlinks. The problem i am having is that when the user clicks on a link i need a value to be passed to the page it links to, like a form does with the value="" option.

Is this possible???? and if Yes how do i do it????

my first guess was that it would be somthing like

<a value="1" href="#">Link</a>

But then I didnt know how I would get the value on the next page??

Any help on this?

Many Thanks,
J

Data sent between posts is best done through a GET request, here we will assign '1' to 'value' to be sent to the next page:

<a href="page.php?value=1">Link</a>  

You can make it dynamic as well, such as:

$page = 1;
echo "<a href='page.php?value=$page'>Link</a>";

To access it on page.php:

$value = $_GET['value']; //page.php?value=1

Does this answer your question?
