I want to pass an alpha string from a link (url) to a new page. What is the most efficient method?
Thanks astonecipher - My question missed a couple of critical words (“map” and “area”) due to including them in tags, as I needed to collect a value from a map/area link. However I have solved the issue myself by using ?name"value" in the html (as php) of the area tag and collecting the name (hence value) as a $_GET in the new page. It works seamlessly.
The $_GET way was what I was trying to show, so I am glad you picked up on that. The form is irrelevant in your use case.
