passing value via href

[Duane Phillips]

How do I write a hyperlink that also passes a value to the destination php
page?

Thanks in advance.

http://servername/index.php?var1=hello&var2=monkey

This will pass an HTTP GET query to the server. Everything after the
question mark is the query, and is "seen" by PHP in the following ways:

* As the $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] variable
* As part of the $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] variable
* As part of the _SERVER["argv"] variable
* And in the $_GET and $_REQUEST and variables

Also, if register_globals is ON, the variables $var1 and $var2 will be
created.

I guess this is what you were asking...

WOW that was a fast reply. Yes, exactly what I was after. I couldn't seem
to remember the construct of the href, nor how to find the value in the next
page... been a long time since I used it, and I couldn't remember where I
used it... lol.

THANKYOU.
