Question

I m developing a php site for mobile phones. It’s home page has images of several phones, all are having a unique Id.(1,2,3,…).So when I click on an Image a the page should be redirected to another page(Details.php) and display images and information related to the image that I just clicked. I tried doing this using a session variable but if so I’ll have to use separate session variable to each phone. How can I solve this issue. Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You could use a GET variable to pass those information.

index.php or whatever where the phones are listed

<a href="details.php?phoneid=1"><img src="phone01.jpg"></a>
<a href="details.php?phoneid=2"><img src="phone02.jpg"></a>
<a href="details.php?phoneid=3"><img src="phone03.jpg"></a>

And at the details.php. You can use this

if(isset($_GET['phoneid'])) {
    $phoneid = $_GET['phoneid'];
    switch ($phoneid) {
        case '1':
            echo 'Phone 1';
            break;
        case '2':
            echo 'Phone 2';
            break;
        case '3':
            echo 'Phone 3';
            break;
    }
} else {
    // no value of phoneid
}

Another easier way is to use mySQL to list all the phones.
