passing values

[diasansley]

hey guys

i am  stuck at one part. i am coding a site where on the index page there are 5 categories. Now on click of these it takes me to a page where i can search within a particular category. i can do it by statically giving <href="localhost/xampp/abc.php">and a fixed page path. but i want the name of the category passed when i click and the search page to open when i open search.

 

 

thanks

if its static use

<href="localhost/xampp/abc.php?cat=whatever">

but you could use the same idea via a JS link

 

in abc.php to get the categorie use the $_GET ie

echo $_GET['cat'];

[/code]
