session in a link or database?
Posted: Sun Mar 08, 2009 4:57 am
Heres a curly one for yous.
I have about 20 links on a page that I need to have a variable associated with it
Ie: if you click on the link it will take you to USA.php but display the city of New York at the top of the page. the next link would be this would also take you to the USA.php but would display Detroit at the top of the page and so on
The way I imagine this would work is by something like this
i would then have to pass the variable $USA to a session so that it carrys to the next page and is displayed.
Am I on the right track or is there a better way of doing this?
I would also like other things to change not just the name at the top but If i can figure out how to carry a different value for one of 20 or so links/variable across to one page I think I could work the rest out.
Cheers in advance
