Setting Actions To Text Links

[brdnwi]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to figure out how to perform an action when a link is pressed. I know how to use the isset function with Form buttons, but I don't know how to do it with links. Is it possible?

Parameters passed in the query string of a URL are populated in the $_GET superglobal.

Clicking this link:
http://www.example.com/example.php?name=Dan

Would be the equivalent of doing the following in example.php

$_GET['name'] = "Dan"; 

You could test if the name was sent in to example.php with isset again:

if (isset($_GET['name'])) {
    echo "Hello, " . $_GET['name'];
} else {
    echo "Hello, guest";
}

Thanks. I was aware of that. However, I overlooked it. Thanks
