Send/retrieve Variable to another html page

[ariefk]

I read some posting directed me to use this way :
in page 1, create a link :

http://www.yoursite.com/page2.html?var1=hi&var2=yo&var3=blah

Now, the question is how to retrieve these variable in the page2.html ?

 

[vbkris]

use javascript:
<script>
alert(location.search)
</script>

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

If the variables are critical, then consider the fact that 5% of users have JavaScript switched off (source: The Counter).

The way most web sites do it is to use a server side technology. Here's a php example.

<a href="page.php?var1=100">Next page</a>

<?php
  $myvar1 = $_GET['var1'];
  print "<p>Variable 1 is: ".$myvar1."</p>";
?>
