Anchor Tag Help w/PHP

[Ralph Freshour]

I'm using PHP and while this is an HTML question, I'm looking for a
PHP answer please - I've got several anchors similar to the one shown
below - I'm calling a dispatcher.php script and I need to be able to
determine which anchor was clicked on even tho they will all call the
same dispatcher.php script - in PHP can I detect which anchor was
clicked on once I'm in the dispatcher script?

<A HREF="dispatche r.php">2</A>

Hi

Could you allot an id to each HREF tag and try to provide that as an
argument to the script.

How do you assign an ID tag? I've tried:

<A HREF="dispatche r.php" ID="num_2">2</A>

But that doesn't seem to trap it in the dispatcher code where I have:

if ($num_2)
{
etc.
}

No, try

<A HREF="dispatche r.php?id=num_2" ID="num_2">2</A>

and

$_GET["id"] for PHP > 4.1

HTH, Jochen
