Note this DEMO passes a variable (and it's value) via a GET ternary operation.
In other words, the name of the variable and it's value is being passed
through the URL. There is no form involved.
Please note the string "?id=4" in the URL.
This could be used to give users an option to flip through choices. The id in this example refers to a category of furniture for sale.
Category:
sofas
ID = 4
<?php
include('includes/header.php');
// set error reporting to all
error_reporting(E_ALL);
// get the id from the URL via GET ternary operator
$id = isset($_GET['id']) ? $_GET['id'] : 0;
// create items array for shopping demonstration
$items = array("beds","chairs","recliners","dining chairs","sofas","end tables",
"dining tables","coffee tables","dressers","desks","bookshelves","kids furniture");
