I have a page with element <a> acting like a <button>, in this form the elements works like a service plans, and i want to get a value when one of these buttons has been clicked.
Page1.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Page 1</title>
<?php
session_start();
?>
</head>
<body>
<section>
<a href="page2.php" value='basic' name="plan">Choose Plan1</a>
<br><br>
<a href="page2.php" value='intermediary' name="plan">Choose Plan2</a>
<br><br>
<a href="page2.php" value='premium' name="plan">Choose Plan3</a>
</section>
</body>
</html>
Page2.php
<?php
session_start();
echo 'test';
echo $_POST['name'];
?>
I know that $_POST['name'] doesn’t works cuz don’t exist a input, but i don’t know how use something like this to get a value of button clicked and show this value.
The return expected for first button for example, is something like:
basic
I need this value to put in database after.
Someone can help me to get this values?
>Solution :
You may pass the value as a url parameter
<section>
<a href="page2.php?plan=basic" >Choose Plan1</a>
<br><br>
<a href="page2.php?plan=intermediary">Choose Plan2</a>
<br><br>
<a href="page2.php?plan=premium">Choose Plan3</a>
</section>
And get it from $_GET in your php code
echo $_GET['plan'];
