Modify the URL

[qwicfingers]

I would like to click a button and modify the url from www.example.com/index.php?id=1 to www.example.com/index.php?id=2 to 3, etc with out reloading the page is there away to do this? I can't seem to find a method to update the url.

 

Thanks.

if your talking about the URL in the address bar then the page has to reload,

 

if you're talking about updating the content of the page to match id=1, id=2, id=3

 

then you want AJAX

I have a flash gallery in which all the images can be reached by adding a ?id=theID to the end of the url. I was hoping to be able to update the address bar with each pictures ID as you navigate the gallery, but if the page reload then the flash has to reload. =/

i suggest that you change the images in Flash, not via HTML/PHP. if you have to update the URL for a new image, your page must be refreshed unless you use Ajax. then, you might as well tie Flash to PHP instead of Javascript to PHP (Ajax), imo.

The images are manged by the actionscript, so basically the gallery runs as normal unless you pass an ID var and the php get method then it jumps to that image.  I was hoping to be able to also do the reverse and keep the url updated for usability as you browse. The php is only a few lines at this point.

 

<?php

foreach($_GET as $variable => $value) {

echo "fo.addVariable('firstImageIndex', '$value');";

}

?>

 

So back to the drawing board I guess, unless someone has another suggestion.

Ok I got an js suggestion from someone thanks for pointing me in that direction.
