Not quite sure I understand.  You can't send POST data through a link without a little bit of Javascript and form tags.  Can you show an example of what you want to accomplish?

sure..let me explain you the simple example...

current page i have controls like country,state and city drop downs and

buttons like UPDATE,SUBMIT and links like DETAILS etc..

now if i click on DETAILS link, details.php should get opened and there i will use posted values from previous page like country,state and city and those 3 values are displayed in details.php.

 

i dont mind using javascript,form tags in my code if im going to accomplish my target..would appreciate if you could please tell me how can i post values from the current page to destination page using this DETAILS link..

 

Thanks,

page1.php

 

<?php

 

echo "<a href='page2.php?value=12345'>Click Here to send the value to the next page</a>";

 

?>

 

 

page2.php

 

<?php

 

$var=$_GET['value'];

 

echo "The value from page1.php is".$var ;

 

?>

@d.shanker: He wants to use POST, not GET.  =/  And why do you keep talking in quote boxes?  Attention seeker much?

 

@thread starter:  I'm going to go eat then I'll post back with some code.  Sorry. D:

No problem... will be waiting for your reply...

 

you are correct.. i want to post the data which may contain around 30 plus values...

 

i think here first thing i need to do is to submit the page and and put those posted values into a session and pass that session values to the destination page...

 

thanks,

Okay.  I presume that you have form tags around these dropdowns, correct?  Add a name attribute to the form:

<form name="destination" action="details.php" method="post">

Something: <input type="text" /><br />

<a href="javascript:submitForm()">Details</a>

</form>

 

Then the Javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">

function submitForm() {

  document.destination.submit();

}

</script>

Check this out...

 

 

<script language="Javascript">

 

function submitForm()

{

document.FORMNAME.action = 'details.php';

document.FORMNAME.method = 'post';

document.FORMNAME.submit();

}

</script>

 

on the HTML body

 

<a href="Javascript: submitForm()">Details</a>
