[Resolved] Posting variables

[PAZII]

Hello!

My first problem posted in this forum:
How can I transfer a variable from one page to another without using forms and sessions. Is it possible. I have a menu, which is generated (read from db) and in this menu there are links(text). Each link points to a single page "groups.php". How can I in groups.php know which link the user clicked. Remember that I must generate the menu too.
Thank you in advance.

I assume u have some id for every menu entry, i.e. $linkId or whatever. When u wanna link to groups.php passing this id, do it like this:

<a href="groups.php?id=<?php echo $linkId;?>">Go to page xy</a>

Now, in groups.php, u can access the value of id via the array $GET :

$linkId = $_GET['id'];

If u wanna pass multiple variables to a page, separate them usin the & , e.g.

<a href="groups.php?id=<?php echo $linkId;?>&action=show">Show page xy</a>

Again, u can access the values by usin the key (the part on the left of the =) with $GET, i.e. $action = $GET['action'] etc etc.
