wildteen88 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Use a normla link? <a href="page2.php?search=all>Search All</a> In page2.php use $_GET['search'] to retrieve the search url variable.

damerit Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 That does work. My objective is for a user to type criteria in a text field and when they submit or activate the event the typed contents would be sent to page2.php. That is where I will perform a search on the content. thank you, Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/120407-how-to-pass-text-contents-without-using-a-form/#findComment-620397 Share on other sites More sharing options...
