value assigning

[speedy33417]

Quick question.

How do you assign value to a variable based on which link the user clicks.

One of the pages where I would use it is a photo gallery page. Clicking on a thumbpic would save the album_id in a variable then process the page based on that variable.
album_view.php checks if there's a value assigned to the variable. If not that means it will display the main gallery, if there's a value assigned to it then it will display that sub-gallery.

Thanks.

JavaScript can do that with the onClick() function

You can't use onclick to set php variables, unless you have an ajax implementation.

The most obvious solution is [url=http://www.plus2net.com/php_tutorial/variables2.php]passing variables though 'get'[/url].

Sorry, that was stupid of me. I (almost automatically) think in Ajax terms.
