The POST array

[CocoPop]

Hello, I was wondering if it is at all possible to have a simple link (href) and for that link to POST variables, say for example a blog page with 3 clickabvle links to see the last 3, 5 or 10 blog entrys.

 

So if i was going to use the get command i would simple add ?$Entrys=3 to the URL.

 

If there is any way to do this with the POST command you help would be appreciated.

Thanks

OK so the link url html bit loks like this (using GET)

 

<a class="SideLinks" href="http://www.deadandcolourblind.co.uk?$Limit=10"> Last 10</a> </br>

 

And to output the blog i use

 

while($Limit > 0)
	{
		$Entry = mysql_result($Result, $RecordCount, "Blog");
		$Title = mysql_result($Result, $RecordCount, "Title");
		$Category = mysql_result($Result, $RecordCount, "BlogCatagory");
		$Date = mysql_result($Result, $RecordCount, "Date");

		//Output The Blog Contents, Default = 3 Entrys
  			echo "<div class='Border'>";
		echo "<div class='Blog'> <div class='Date'> $Date                Category: $Category </div> <div class='BlogTitle'> <B> $Title </B> <IMG class='Icon' src='Images/Star.png'> </div> <br> <div class='Blog'> $Entry </div> </div> </div>";

		$RecordCount --;
		$Limit --;
	}

Couple of points. ?$Limit=10 in your links should actually be Limit=10 (no dollar sign). Also, somewhere in the code to display the output you need to abstract the value of Limit as passed from the previous page via get or post. $Limit does not automatically exist.

 

If you really want to POST values, then you'll need a simple form (method='post') with a dropdown so visitors can select the value of Limit.
