Hi.

I have been thinking of a way to use a navigation system and I just want to know if this will work.

Ok, I have a navigation bar with three links in, 'Home', 'Links' and 'Contact' (just an example). If anyone clicks on these links it will take them to process.php (no matter what link is clicked). Now is it possible using $_POST or something to detect which link was clicked? If so how? Because if possible I would then get the link that was clicked and connect to a database and select the code for the page that was selected.

Thanks

Rob

im not sure that would work, as $_POST would require a form, which im not sure you can do...

what you could do is send it to process.php with process.php?page=xxxx and then use if($_GET['page'] == xxxx){ do... } else( ..... you get the drift.

or are you just asking about using $_POST to keep the url tidy? if so you could just use mod rewrite to show the url as process.php which would still work.

in short i think you need to use GET and not POST... but i await some more ideas...
