Parameter passing

Will Roberts · May 7, 2004

I want to load a link in another frame (easy peasy), but now I want to pass
a parameter as part so that the html or php file can display the right
stuff. I'm sure this must be easy, but I've been scratching my head and
trying all sorts of increasingly desperate and bizarre code all afternoon.
Someone please enlighten me.

You need more fiber. Maybe that's what they mean by "Fiber Optics" ...

And you can't pass the parameter in the URL? (or in the form)

target="main">Some Page</a>

And for more params:
<a href="foo.cgi?param1=value1&param2=value2&param3=value3" etc.>

Hi,

Will posted just a few minutes before I wanted to do it... ;-)

<a href="somepage.php?text=Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"
target="main">Some Page</a>

I tested this with a tiny page:
<html>
<body>
<?php echo "display parameter: " . $abc; ?>
</body>
</html>

Result of calling test.php?abc="xy" is only an error msg:
"Notice: Undefined variable: abc in test.php on line 3"

Is there a way to define a variable without assigning a value? Maybe
somewhere in the header?

Any hint?

TIA

Using PHP, this variable is actually accessed as $_GET['text']
(substitute text for the appropriate name from the URL).

Thank's a lot, now it works as I want!
On the other hand today I realized, that the ISP hosting the site
doesn't speak PHP...

:-( or

, choose yourself!
