[RESOLVED] parse values with a link

[rlee923]

Hi,

I am quite a noob on php (and html) so I need some experts' help.

What I am trying to do is parsing the value on to the target file of the link, without submit button, is this possilbe?

For example, this messageboard, has links to threads and i am sure it parses the value to the target file, but it does it with just a link instead of a submit button, right?

I do notice that the url has more than the target file but I don't have a clue how to do this.

I read up a book on php but it doesn't really tell you anything about this.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Cheers

Use the $_GET array to get values submitted via URL query strings.

Thanx for the reply NogDog.

I was also wondering whether you can parse confidential values such as login and passwords, without being shown the url of the link.

You could use sessions or cookies for that.

Wow thanx for the speedy reply.

This will solve a lot of problems I currently have with php based control module.

Thanx a lot
