php variable passing

[teachingu]

hi, how do you pass a variable from a html to a php file without showing the URL?

or maybe, how to include a <a href> tag in php? for that I can pass the variable to the next page?
Thanks

To pass information without using the URL, you'll need to use the POST method, not GET. You're probably not wanting to use a form though, but unfortunately it's the easiest way, even with a hack to do it the way you want.

Insert a input type=hidden with the string information in that form, and then use some javascript to make a link the submit button. That'll work for ya.
