I need to pass data from one web page to another.
For example I have 10 products, when the user clicks the price of the product I need to load a new page which can display data from the first page such as description, price, quantity etc.
not sure if i need to do this in PHP or if it can be done in HTML?
Any help appreciated.
thanks

HTML cannot do this, no. You could use Javascript to avoid using server-side programming.
However, while we are here, we may as well discuss the options.
You may have noticed complex looking URLs like so: http://site.com/?name=markus&age=18&desc=very%20sexy. This is using a route that passes information via the URL. This information can be obtained via the GET array (links at bottom). How do I get the info to the URL, you may ask? Well, if you set a form's action attribute to 'get', open submitting the form, it will create and append the data within the form to the URL. As said before, you then have access via the GET array.
Another option is the POST (links at bottom) array, this is sometimes preferable to GET as the data is not easily visible to the user; it is not passed via the URL, but by magic. This option can be achieved by setting the form's action attribute to 'post'.
There are other options such as SESSION or COOKIE that are used to pass data between pages.
Mark.

HTML is not a programming language, but a markup language. To achieve your solution in HTML, you'd have to create a html page for each product detail and go to that page (hard code the name) from the product summary page.
to do it with PHP is very easy. You can pass it via the URL such as:
yoursite.com/productDetail.p hp? productID=12345
then on productDetail you can get the productID with $_GET['productID'].
From this product ID you can pull the rest of your product info from your data soruce...which I hope is a MySQL database.
Cheers,
Dan

Hi,
I have a javascript solution where page A launches page B in a second window
and then they can pass data between them. That's all well and good.
Now say page B wants to navigate to page C (i.e. in the same window as page
B is currently in, and I want to pass information from B to C.
Currently I have it that B passes the information back to A before loading
C, and C then picks it up from A.

On a current site I've done, I've had one userControl do the logic and set

traversing the class structure: siteClass.userControlClass.specficVariable.
That worked fine.

Hi;
I have a IHttpHandler that is generating a page. If it throws an exception I
want to put up a nice page that is based on my master page so it looks good.
How can I redirect from my IHttpHandler to my handle_error.aspx page passing
it the exception in the request, not in the url. I would prefer to pass the
filename, line number and Exception.Message string but I can live with just
the Message.
