Link = Include variable

dniezby

Here is what I'm looking at doing.

I have page with <a href="buttonLink.html">the button image</a>

Now, I want to establish a variable result when they click the button.

EG: They click the link.
If the link is clicked - then it goes to the body of a table in the webpage and sets the include result

include $content;

How do I set the href link up to send the variable result ?

I was thinking that it's got to be something like:
onclick="<?php $content="mainpagecontent.html"; ?>"

They click the button, then it sets the variable, then it loads the approriate html page into the table.

Or am I totally off on how I should do this?

son of a gun!

I think you did understand.

When someone clicks the link for SHOP, I want the same webpage displayed BUT I want the content area to change according to the variable's result...

You've helped me out.

Thanks.

I will test it right now.

Damn!

Here is the problem I'm having now.

I put the link in and I guess it would work except I did this:

So there is content on the page when it first loads - like a regular index.html page, I set the variable in the page with initial data.

<?php $page_content=main.html; ?>

Then when someone clicks a link the href link is set up like this.
<a href=index.php?page_content=http://www.url.com/directory"> BUTTON IMAGE</a>

It seems like it would work fine, BUT, when I click the link, the page reloads BUT now the $page_content variable is set back to main.html instead of the button's result.

How would I set the main.html to only load on the initial webvisit and when the HOME button is clicked?
