    <p>I have a page with two links (text link &amp; banner link), that should lead to the <strong>same</strong> redirect page<br> (on my domain). </p> <p>The redirect would be to a link that shall include a variable,<br> that indicates which of the two link was clicked.</p> <p>e.g.:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php header("Location: http://external-domain.com/?ref=[value]"); die(); ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>wheareas the "value" should be "text" / "banner" or something similar.</p> <p>How can I do this? I'm not a web programmer at all so I don't have much technical knowledge,</p> <p>I guess <strong>one possible solution (which I would rather avoid)</strong> would be to give a separate id for the text link and for the banner, e.g.:</p> <p>text link: </p> <pre><code> http://mydomain.com/redirect.php?id=text </code></pre> <p>banner link: </p> <pre><code> http://mydomain.com/redirect.php?id=banner </code></pre> <p>whereas redirect.php would contain:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $source = $_GET['id'] ?&gt; &lt;?php header("Location: http://external-domain.com/?ref=&lt;?php print $source; ?&gt;"); die(); ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>But that would mean that I have to use a <strong>different</strong> id for these internal links;<br> I would rather find a way to use the <strong>same</strong> exact internal links (maybe for example, have each link in a "div" or a "class" and get the div/class name somehow, and have them appear as the [value].</p> <p>*<strong>EDIT:</strong> Let me emphasize again: I'm looking for a way to do this <strong>without having to use any "?id=[something]"</strong> at the end of the text link or the banner link.</p> <p>Thanks!</p>

    1. COYou could use a `switch/case` --- [**See this Q&A's on SO**](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19697116/php-switch-not-working) --- it's a simple solution.

    2. COa simple solution for what? maybe the question isn't clear enough - I'm looking for a way to this this without using an ?id ad the end of the either the text or the image link. If I'm already using a different ID I can use my own method, can't I?

    3. COYou want to pass a parameter using `GET` without an ID at the end; you're contradicting yourself. What I now think you may want to look into, is [`mod_rewrite()`](http://www.sitepoint.com/guide-url-rewriting/) Other than that, I don't know what else to suggest to you. You need to give me a real-world example; your question is confusing.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
