[PHP] howto set variablevalue with link?
Hello, I was wondering is it possible to set a variable value with html link? I would like to have link button in my page that changes the language. I thought to set $lang variable with the button and later use it to detedmine what to fetch from the database. What wound be the smartest solution?

yeah you can set a variable this way: http://www.example.com/test.php?var=something This sets the variables $var equal to something and you can use them accordingly within your script. If you have safe mode on then you'll need to access the $var variable by using the $_GET array like so: $_GET['var'] Cheers!
