hyperlink

[agmorgan]

Hello all, I am having a problem using PHP, but I may be asking to much of it.

At the moment I have a system that allows a user to select a Radio button and then click a submit button in order to a new page. Using Hidden data I can move the users logon details from page to page.

i.e
echo "<form action='New_member.php' method='POST'>
<input type='hidden' name='firstName' value='$firstName'> \n";

echo "<input type='radio' name='interest' value='Profile'>Profile";

if ($_POST['interest'] == "Profile")
{
include("profile.inc");
}

echo "<input type='submit' value='select'>
</form>\n";

This works great. BUT I want to add a picture with a link to the next page ie.

echo "<a href='New_member.php'>";

But how do I get to the next page including the

<input type='hidden' name='firstName' value='$firstName'>

information? The hyperlink works well but I can never get the information I need transfered to th new page.

Any pointers would be appreciated...

Is this what you mean?

<?php
$firstName = "fred";
echo '<a href="New_member.php?firstName=' . $firstName . '"><img src="image.jpg" width="250" height="250" alt="alt text" /></a>';
?>

ANd then on your members page have this:

<?php
// get firstName from URL
$firstName = $_GET['firstName'];
// echo it to make sure you have it
echo "firstName: " . $firstName;
?>

You could use the image as the form submit button?

<input name="blah" type="image" src="image.jpg">
