yet another newbie with a dumb question

[Greg]

Hey everyone,

I'm only just starting with PHP and I have a problem that I can't solve.
Since I haven't found any appropriate tutorial, here I come.

I have a first page with some links generated by php. The links are stored
in a dBase and ordered by genre so I can display them nicely. Each link has
it's own "link text" and "anchor name" (also stored in the dBase) but all
point to the same page.
that works fine
But I want the php code on this second page to use the first page's link's
"anchor name".
I know how to pass values to another page using a form but I'm not using one
there.
Can anyone help?

Regards,
Greg
