pocobueno1388 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Is there any way you can turn a link such as:[code]<a href="page_name.php">Blah</a>[/code]Into a $_POST value? What I am trying to do is secure my users shop.php script. Users are able to put items up for sale into a shop, and they can edit the prices when they click on the picture of the item. I am trying to disable other users from being able to update items in shops that arn't theres. The only way I can do that is to clear all the $_GET values in the URL. Or if there was a way to hide the $_GET values in the URL to everyone, yet I was able to get the values from them, that would work fine, but I have never heard of that.When they click on an item to edit, I am using the $_GET information to pull out the information in the database. The item they click on is obviously an image link, so I would like to change the URL of the link so I don't have to put $_GET values in the URL for other users to change. Usually I can block people out of things like this, but I didn't plan enough before I started coding and got trapped...so there is no way to keep people away from others items with the GET values in the URL.I know I could just make an submit button that can bring them to the edit page, but I want to keep the page as clean as possible, and I already have a couple of buttons. If this can't be fixed, I will just have to do that.Any help will be very appreciated.

AndyB Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Make the image the submit button for a form that contains a hidden input whose value is the item number or whatever.
