Passing Variables that are clicked on

[the_ut_tick]

Hi all,

 

  I would like to write a function where, when the user clicks on the name of a person, he is taken to a bio of that person.  Obviously, I only want to write one function and pass the name (which is clicked on) as a variable.  I see this everywhere, but can't seem to find out how it's done.  Is it just a type of form or is it done with session variables? 

 

Thanks

use the GET method.

 

you would link the persons name to site.com/bio.php?name=jim

 

then use $name = $_GET['name'];

 

then use sql to find all the info for $name.
