Question

I have content between an <a> tag and I want to pass its content into a variable on the next page when it is clicked.

<a class="stuff" href="process.php"> Content One </a>
<a class="stuff" href="process.php"> Content Two </a>
<a class="stuff" href="process.php"> Content Three </a>

So if the middle link was clicked, the value passed to a variable in process.php would be Content Two. Can anyone help me out with that? I’m a little new to php.

Another option would be to use Jquery. You could disable the default action for clicking a link. You can then use javascript to redirect to the page intended with the GET variable automatically added on.

$(document).ready(function() {
            $('a').click(function(event){
               event.preventDefault();
               var link = $(this).attr('href');
               var text = $(this).text();
               var url = link + '?string=' + text;
               window.location = url;
            });
         });
