Using a link to submit information?

[moonwalkercs]

Is it possible to use a link to submit information to a php page, instead of using a form.

I have page that displays pictures from a database. Underneath each picture I want to have a 'comments' link that will go to a page with a larger version of the picture and a form to add comments for the picture. I just want to have one file-- comments.php that creates these pages dynamically depending on which picture was selected. Is it possible to make the comments link a hyperlink to comments.php and pass the picture information with it?

I think i've seen something like this before...would it look like:

comments.php?id='variable' desc='variable'

I just want to know if this is possible to do and if so what is the correct syntax.

Thanks

It is definitely possible... just pass them like this:

your/path/here/comments.php?id=123&name=george

Don't put the quotes in the query string (the part after php in the URL, starts from the question mark).

Now once inside comments.php you can access the passed data via the $_GET array like so:

$id = $_GET['id']; $name = $_GET['name'];

Hope it makes sense!
