[SOLVED] Linking / Variable

[hazz995]

Wondering how do I create a link that changes a variable in php when clicked instead of actually going anywhere, still new to PHP

You can't exactly do that in PHP. You can in JavaScript, but if that's not what you're looking for you can use the $_GET superglobal with similar functionality. Example:

 

<?php
$var = isset($_GET['var']) ? $_GET['var'] : 'Not set';
echo '$var is: ' . $var;
?>
<a href="?var=somethingelse">Click!</a>

Thanks a lot, I got the result I wanted.
