passing hidden variables in url

[Anon]

I have a page that when a certain link is clicked (i.e. a pdf file) i assign the link(url) to a variable and pass it to the form page. I need to make it so that the variable is not shown in the url in the address box. (i.e. index.htm?var1=xyz.pdf) can i do this without using a form?

thanks in advance!

Hmm...one way could be to assign a state variable to the url. For example state=1, so your full url would be index.htm?state=1. This would be passed to your php script, and state=1 would represent xyz.pdf.

if(state==1)
{
$myFile="xyz.pdf"
}

Hope this helps.
