One way to pass a variable by clicking on a hyperlink is to make the HREF attribute of the anchor tag into a querystring with the variable that you want to pass.
If you want to pass the variable "$user_id" to the next page, with a value of "289", here is how you could do it: <a href="./nextpage.php?user_id=289">Click here for the next page</a> But keep in mind that this will pass the variable along in the browser's URL bar. Also realize that you may need to use the variable $_GET['user_id'] (instead of just $user_id) if your php.ini file has "register_globals" set to OFF. Any variables passed along in a querystring like this are available as elements of the $_GET array, from what I understand, as an easy way to send a variable (as opposed to the more lengthy "hidden form field" method).
