RE: [PHP] Passing variables with a href hyperlinks

A GET is a type of request, just like POST. When stuff is tacked on to a URL as a querystring (i.e. ?blah=1&grep=2) you have stuff in $_GET. Since you are using $row['bguid'] for the label of you link, I am assuming that is the value you want to pass. so <a href=\"view_bug.php?bugid==$row[bugid]\">" . $row['bugid'] . "</a></font></td> should work. And on view_bug.php the bug id will be in $_GET[bugid] because you are passing it as a GET. > -----Original Message----- > From: Bobby Rahman [mailto:bobby_rahman2002@hotmail.com] > Sent: Friday, April 25, 2003 4:54 PM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] Passing variables with a href hyperlinks > > > > Hiya > > Im having troubles sending a page with a variable.
