Hi Shaun
Use a link similar to <a href="script_file.php?product_category =x">Click here</a> In script_file.php you can get at this variable using either $product_category or $_GET['product_category'] . What you set product_category (the value of x in the link above) to is up to you and your script! Does it need to be set to a valid value that is then used to look up data in a database?
