How to load different table for different link?

diana_253

Hye all,

Need little help here.. I need to load different table or layout that contain pictures and descriptions of 'em... So i've several links for each of different categories...

Example:

I've links of

Modem
Monitors
Notebook

so for each of these links i need to load different html table to display the pictures, description and prices.

<a href="#"><?php "Modem" ?></a>
<a href="#"><?php "Monitors" ?></a>
<a href="#"><?php "Notebook" ?></a>

basically above is the illustration of the coding and the logic goes like this:

<?php if($someVar=="Monitors")

echo ?>
<td>bla bla bla </>

<?php else echo ?>
<td>bla bla bla </td>

basically i plan to do it like the above illustration but i dont know how to assign the link clicked to the php variable...can i use onClick the javascript function to call the php function?...if can, then can someone show me the way...

Thank in advance....

Hi,

If I read your post right, you want to pass a variable to the next page when a link is clicked? This is how:

// create a link:
<a href=\"MyNextPage.php?category=".$category."\">".$category."</a>

In the next page, the variable $category is available through the $_GET array:

$Cat = $_GET['category'];

Hope it is what you were looking for.

no its not to forward to next page..i want to use that same page but loading different information / table data. or is it possible if i make it this way?

<a href="$_SELF?category="$category><?php echo $category ?></a>

how is it?

Weedpacket

<a href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?category='.urlencode($category)?>"><?php echo $category?></a>

I'm not certain, but the $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] may be optional.
