Try Something like this

  }

mysql_select_db("my_db", $con);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM person");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
  echo $row['FirstName'] . " " . $row['LastName'];

[passing a variable.]

Try this script

 

<script type="text/Javascript">
  var xmlHttp;
    try{	
      // Firefox, Opera 8.0+, Safari
      xmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
    }catch (e){
      // Internet Explorer
      try{
        xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
      }catch (e){
         try{
   xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
 }catch (e){
	window.location="noajax.html";
	return false;
}
   }
}

function pageRequest(page){
    xmlhttp.open('GET', page);
    xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=function(){	
    if(xmlHttp.readyState==4){
        document.getElementById('content').innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText;
    }else{
document.getElementById('content').innerHTML='<center><img src="images/loading.gif" alt="Loading" style="border:0px;"/><br />Loading, Please Wait...</center>';
    }
  }
  xmlhttp.send(null);
}
</script>

 

Just use the GET method by adding the value to the page name

 

EXAMPLE

 

news.php?value=4

<a href='javascript:pageRequest("news.php?value=4")'>

 

From the file use

 

<?Php

  echo $_GET['value'];

?>

 

to get the value
