Define a GET variable and transmit it through URL's

[SimoBk]

Hi all,

Well, actually my question isn't really "How to do", but "How to do it easier"...

What I want :
- A link on every page of my site that should define a GET variable. By clicking on that link from this page, we'd get the following page :

      index.php            >>    index.php?var=1
      index.php?a=b        >>    index.php?a=b&var=1
      index.php?var=2&a=b  >>    index.php?var=1&a=b

- The variable should then be transmitted from page to page each time I click a link on any page. So, if I click on a link to "main.php" from this page, I'd get the following page :

      index.php            >>    main.php
      index.php?a=b        >>    main.php
      index.php?var=2&a=b  >>    main.php?var=2

I know it can be done by :
- Using 10's of lines of code that will get the URL, look for ? and &... , and replace depending on what it find... etc.
- Modify each single A HREF by links generated with PHP.

But I am sure there's a simplier way that I just don't now...

Thanks for any help

Simo,

From your description, I'm confused as to what it is you actually want.

You say that "A link on every page of my site that should define a GET variable". Links are static HTML - they cannot define variables.

You also say that by "clicking on that link from this page, we'd get the following page", but don't list one page - you list many.

Can you clarify exactly what it is you are wanting?

Dan,

Thanks for your answer.

First, the link can be set to execute a JS function.

2nd, as I said, the same link will be available on each and every page, so that's why I gave different examples...
By clicking the 1st on each line, we'd get to the second.

Basically, these would be change language links (&lang=en, &lang=fr...)
