hyperlink/http post vars 1

[wagnj1]

I need to have a php page set up so when a person clicks on a hyperlink it links the page to itself but passes itself a variable that I can use once they've selected that specific hyperlink.

I have a set of hyperlinks for pictures and a display box on the screen and I want it set up so that when they select a hyperlink for a specific picture it will "post" (not technically posting since no form) to itself so when the page reloads I can open that specific picture in the display box.

just use php to add a variable to the end of the url (in the form filename.php?varname=varvalue).

this can then be used the next time filename.php opens as $_GET['varname'].
