  • 0

i have an ajax / php feature of my site that pulls in information from a table every 20 seconds. The information is about hobbie’s

It displays on the page the name of the person and their hobby. I have a second page that acts as an information source for that hobby. Currently the only way to access the second page is by entering your hobby into a form on the first page. How would i get it so that i could click on the hobby that is being displayed on the homepage and access an information page on the hobby.

To access the information it currently grabs the hobby from a POST command.

The table results are being displayed on the homepage via

echo $row['name']." is interested in ".$row['hobby'];

Could i some how pass the hobby name through to another page? I only know how to do it through form submits.

    I don’t think that sesssions are necessary for this.

    Look at what information your form is sending. If you’re making a GET request you can add that url to a link.

    So on your home page you could have links like the one below instead of forms.

    <a href="/hobbies/?name=remote+controlled+cars>Remote Controlled Cars</a>

    So with the link it would no longer be using $_POST but $_GET instead.

    Psudeo code for your homepage link below.
    <a href="/hobbies/?name=<?php echo slugify($row['hobby']); ?>><?php echo $row['hobby']; ?></a>
