post values to external page explicitly PHP
- by JPro
Hi,
I want to post values to a page through a hyperlink in another page. Is it possible to do that?
Let's say I have a page results.php which has the starting line,
<?php
if(isset($_POST['posted_value']))
{
echo "expected value";
// do something with the data
}
else
{
echo "no the value expected";
}
If from another page say link.php I place a hyperlink like this:
<a href="results.php?posted_value=1"> , will this be accepetd by the results page?
If instead if I replace the above starting line with
if(isset($_REQUEST['posted_value'])), will this work?
I believe the above hyperlink evaluates to GET, but since the only visibility difference between GET and POST that is you can see parameters in the address bar with GET
But, is there any other way to place a hyperlink which can post values to a page? or can we use jquery in the place of hyperlink to POST the values?
Can anyone please suggest me something on this please?
Thanks.
