Using Links To Post??

[binarylime]

All,

Question - can I use a link to post data? I know using forms you have 'method="POST" action="dothedamnthing.php"', but I was wondering if I can use just a simple link to pass data...

Example "
<a href="dothedamnthing.php" passdata="blah blah blah">

Dumb simple question. Pardon my php-ignorance.

Peace out

Yes. For example,
$variable=urlencode("passing variable using url links");
echo "<a href=index.php?var=$variable>GO</a>";

On index.php page, have this:

echo $var;

See what you got.

That will only work if you have register_globals on, which is a security risk.

Instead, use $_GET["var"].
