carry title of link to next page?

[ober0330]

I have a menu that is a bunch of links. When the user clicks on one of those links, I would like to pass the text of that link to the next page, but I would not like to use a traditional form, because the user will be directed to a specific page depending on which link is clicked.

Is there a way to do this?

You could use GETs.

It will definitely depend on how your page is set up, but this is a way you could do it:

<!-- THIS IS YOUR MENU -->
<a href="link_name1.php?name=Link%20Text%201">Link Text 1</a><br><br>
<a href="link_name2.php?name=Link%20Text%202">Link Text 2</a><br><br>
<a href="link_name3.php?name=Link%20Text%203">Link Text 3</a><br><br>

<!-- THIS IS THE CODE TO TAKE THE LINK NAME AND DISPLAY IT -->
<h1><?=$_GET['name'];?></h1>

Oh, and if you didn't know, %20 calls a space.

*smacks self*.... I didn't realize you could use the "GET" array without submitting a form.

Thanks
