Hi, im trying to do a script that when i click a link, it changes a variable... All i need is the code that when i click the link, changes the variable, i got everything else covered.


Any help is great, Thanks in advance.

What do you mean by "changing" the variable?

[LordV]

Well... Basicly I want a link that makes a variable change

EX.

$var=1;


now when i click a link i want it to change to a set variable such as


$var=5;

You can't do this with PHP unless you reload the page onclick because of the fact that PHP is a server side language. You may consider javascript for it.

Ok thanks

What he said is true, but, for example:

$url = 'http://www.test.com/?value='.urlencode($_GET['value']);

Now it'll put that variable after the url (in th above example).

But indeed, PHP is server-side, so you'll have to pass the info along, via $_GET (as above), $_POST (if using forms), cookies, or sessions.

Hmm, hope that halfly helps.

I think i may just have to go and use iframes (dont yell at me, i like them because they are targetable)

If you tell me what you're doing, I might be able to help you...

Frames work too. All that nonsense about older browsers not supporting them...Blarg. But yeah, just let me know!

Personally i dont like frames... but what i am doing is this:

This is another site i made with iframes.

Instead of having iframs and targeting it, i wanted to have a div code with the content being <?php include $content; ?> and the links (or buttons) changing the $content to be different files (say home.php, links.php, and news.php)
