Try this:

<a href="help.php? helpid=1">Get Help</a>

You'll have to set up a page that uses the helpid to retrieve and display the
data. Remember PHP is parsed by the server. If you want to communicate with
PHP again, you'll have to do it as a GET request.

Then on your help.php page, do something like:

<?PHP
$helpid = intval($_GET['helpid']); //make sure it's an integer
gethelp($helpid );
?>
