Question

I have a php script which prints href links on the page like this:

//...
echo"<link><a href=\"nextpage.php\">$table_list[$i]</a><br>";
//...

$table_list has table names from my database, and I want to go to nextpage with say $_SESSION['tablename']=$table_list[$i];

How can I do it?
Thanks.

Answer 1

You can pass the value you want by appending a query string to the link. Something like:

echo "...nextpage.php?tablename=$table_list[$i]...";

Then in nextpage.php, grab the value of $_GET['tablename'] and put it in the user’s session.

$_SESSION['tablename'] = $_GET['tablename'];
