Using Page Name

[aztec]

Hello

 

Is it possible using PHP to call a new page with the HREF link, then passing a variable via the URL and inserting the variable into 'Page Name' of the new page called.

 

Kind Regards

That's precisely what GET is doing. For example, if you were to go to home.php?pageName=Home,

 

this would automatically create the variable $_GET['pageName'], which would contain the value "Home". Likewise, going to page.php?variable=value, would result in the variable $_GET['variable']  = "value" being created.

 

So, you could use $pageName = $_GET['pageName'];

 

Is this what you mean?

Thanks 

 

That is more or less what I want to do.

In particular I want to pass an ID number that could then be used to trigger a MySQL database search.

Link on page index.php:

http://yourhost.com/testpage.php?id=12345

 

Source code of page testpage.php:

$id= $_GET['id'];
$sql = "update database set ID = '$id' where page = 'new'";
mysql_query($sql);

Thanks for your input

 

It is not what I want to do but it appears from the input it can be done.

I want to pass an id number say id=1 to a standard php page ie index.php and place the id number into pagename.

Then I want to use that id number in a mysql query.

 $a_result = @mysql_query("SELECT id,first_name, fid, mid FROM table_x where id= '$page'

Where $page contains the id number.

Is this part possible using PHP
