after clicking on link send a certain $_SESSION['variable']

[inaction]

I am wanting to send this browser a different session variable for each row but I don't want to send it in the url
basically send the next page the id number so that it can pull records
any help will be greatly appreciated
I am new to php

$result = mysql_query("SELECT fldappdate, control, fldbuyfirstname, fldbuymiddlename,fldbuylastname FROM financial WHERE fldcarlotprefix='$prefix'");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {

echo'<TR> <th width="30%">';
echo '<a href="noneditbuyer.php">'.$row[0].'</a>';
//after clicking on this link send session variable
echo '<th width="30%">';
echo '<a href="noneditbuyer.php">'.$row[1].'</a>';
//after clicking on this link send session variable
echo '<th width="30%">';
echo '<a href="noneditbuyer.php">'.$row[2].$row[3].$row[4].'</a>';
//after clicking on this link send session variable
echo '</TR>';

I don't think this is possible so I used submit buttons

Its not possible no.
But you dont have to use submit buttons if you can go with javascript, sure submit buttons is easier but js makes it less obvious that you are actually submitting a form :-)

Both ...

You can make a form and in the links with onClick event you can assign a value to a hidden input and then make the submit action of the form, all with java script ...
