kate_rose Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Hi, Is there a php function which allows me to load the name of the link into a variable when the link is clicked on? I am new at this but I have looked for quite a while & have not found a way to do it. I know you can get the url that visitors to your site come from but I am not sure how to modify that to get the link name or even if I could. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Northern Flame Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 do you mean if someone click and html link coded like this: <a href="http://yourwebsite.com">Your Website</a> you want to get "Your Website"?

kate_rose Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 Sort of but the link is to an internal anchor within the page. So I guess what I really want is the anchor name which is the same word/name as the link that you click on.

corbin Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 So like.... if you had: http://somesite.com/page.php#content1 You would to grab content1? If so, you probably want to look into the $_SERVER array especially the QUERY_STRING, REQUEST_URI and any other url related keys.... Edit: Bah... I had suspected this, so I looked into it and was right.... It appears that the # things are just client side (which makes sense), so there's no way to tell from the server what they are. I think javascript can read anchors though if that helps in some weird way.

kate_rose Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 I tried to reply here but somehow it became a new topic???? I guess you can't change the subject on this forum without it doing that. Anyway the new topic is better explanation.
