Posting data through hyperlinks
hyperlink, php, post
Solution
This post on Ajaxian might help. It links to a pretty in depth blog post that shows you how to apply css to buttons so that they look like links.
The advantage here over using a proper link is the "fake link" really is a button, so it behaves exactly like a button, only it looks like a link. Spiders won't follow it, screen readers will treat it differently, it's a more "correct" thing to do in terms of launching a http post.
Problem
I want to post ($_GET as well as $_POST) data by clicking on links (enclosed with `<a>`) and not the regular form 'submit' button. preferred language : PHP I have seen this in a lot of todays websites, where forms are submitted by clicking on buttons looking like hyperlinks. so was wondering how it could be done. Thanks in advance
