Putting link text into a variable?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 04.2004

Heya.
I was wondering if it’s possible to get the text of a link and put it into a variable? for example:

[code]<a href=”next.php”>linky</a>[/code]

I’d eventually like to put the variable (linky) into a hidden form variable on the ‘next.php’… I’m not sure if there’s a way for PHP to see what text was clicked to get to next.php.
I know google does something like this with it’s pagerank system, but it may be too complicated to explain here… anyone have any ideas/know-how?

Thanks ?

<a href="next.php?text=linky">linky</a>

@hammerslaneauthorFeb 04.2004 — ah yes, that's what i thought i'd have to do.... it's just i have an absolute shed-load of links. there are like 200 links on a page, and rather passing through the variables like this:
&lt;a href="next.php?text=linky1"&gt;linky1&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;a href="next.php?text=linky2"&gt;linky2&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;a href="next.php?text=linky3"&gt;linky3&lt;/a&gt;...If there's no way to dynamically pass the variable through, I guess I'll have to give the copy and paste a bit of exercise :p

thanks pyro ?
