Hi
I have a Web page with a single link, I want that when I click the link, it goes to a PhP Script.

So I have set


<a href="test.php"> Object </a>


Now how can I get the text "Object" in my PhP Script ?

In general, I know that PhP script can get the form elements, when a form is submitted. But My problem is different. The link is not a formelement.

How to get the text of the link ?

Any help/suggestions will be appreciated.

thanks

You would also need to pass it as a GET parameter on the end of the URL -

Code:

<a href="test.php?obj=Object"> Object </a>

Then in your test.php, reference it like this -

PHP Code:

echo $_GET['obj'];

You could do this with preg_match() and the following RegExp:

PHP Code:

<?php



$contents = file_get_contents( 'page.html' );



preg_match( '/<a[^>]+>([^<]+)<\/a>/si', $contents, $m );



$link_text = trim( $m[1] );



?>
