Posting anchor string to another page.

[php_n00b]

Hi. I am fairly new to php so the solution may be obvious to some of you.

On one of my pages I retrieve a query from my database and the results is echoed out inside individual anchor tags as hyperlinks.

I want to then post the value of whichever hyperlink the user clicks on too another page. I assume hidden forms will have to be used for this but I am not sure.

So, right now I have this:

//PHP file runs query returning the following results

result1</>
result2</>
result3</>

etc…

If user clicks on “result1”, I want to then POST this value onto another page and then pull more data about this db entry.

How do I achieve this?

Thanks.

I’m not sure if you want to POST the value rather than GET the value? Do you know the difference between POST and GET?

Let’s say you have a URL like myscript.php?myvariable=result1

In myscript.php you would GET myvariable e.g. $_GET[‘myvariable’] which would be ‘result1’
