RE: [PHP] Reading URL is changed

What Dan says is true,,, IF there are other form fields on the form where your user is making his choices. Since the hotlink fakes a "Get" type of header, and does NOT cause the other fields be submitted as well, any last minute changes to those formfields will be ignored by your form processing routine. On the other hand, if the click is the only value to be transfer the hotlink technique should be adequate.

Andu has a good idea too, but I figured I'd elaborate: If you create a form like: <FORM METHOD=GET ACTION='http://www.foo.com'> <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME='foo' VALUE='bar'> <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME='bar' VALUE='foo'> <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE='submit'> </FORM> The browser visits the URL: http://www.foo.com?foo=bar&bar=foo This is called GET method in a form. Do a google search. Note that you will have to URL encode all variables and data.
