[SOLVED] Can I dynamically change and display a variable when a user clicks a button?

[lifeson2112]

I need help finding out how to change a variable when a user clicks certain links. the change in variable also has to be displayed dynamically. is this possible? I'm extremely new to PHP, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

look into sessions, $_GET and echo. That's all you need.

Is there a way to do it without using forms? I guess the word I should have used was 'link'.

[fert]

yes, with $_GET

[lifeson2112]

here's a sample of my retarded code so you can kinda get an idea of what I'm trying to do:

 

<?php $siteValue = "not entered"; ?>

 

  <a href ="#" onClick="<?php $siteValue = "http://www.google.com";  ?>">

  click here</a>

  <?php include( $siteValue); ?>

[fert]

the only part of that code that wouldn't work would be this:

<a href ="#" onClick="<?php $siteValue = "http://www.google.com";   ?>">

So, is there a way to use $_GET to get around this problem?

[fert]

the best way to do what you want to do would be this

page.htm

<a href="page.php?page=http://google.com">Google</a>

page.php

include($_GET['page']);
