[RESOLVED] noob question

i am quite new to php and was wondering, how it is possible to enter information in the toolbar. Like index.php?type=1 ....

Could someone provide me with a little example? I would be very grateful :bigyello:

Thanks in advance :lol: :bigyello:

Do you want to be able to grab the info from the site? If so, heres what you do..

lets say this is what you want:
www.mysite.com/mylink.php?user=1583

In your php script you type
echo $_GET['user']

hope that helps :wave:

i actually wanted to be able to set a variable when opening my php page. For example
when i clicked on the new thread you made this was shown in the taskbar:
showthread.php?p=2172511#post2172511

This tells the script what to show the user. How can i do that on my script?

hidden value fields using the method get?!?!?! i think...
