I am not sure if what I want to do is a good solution.
I have currently something like:
if (isset($_GET['dir'])) {
$dir=($_GET['dir']) ;
} else {
$dir="$MAIN_DIR";
}
[...]
<a href="#?dir=/media/video/music">Music</a><br>
<a href="#?dir=/media/video/movies">Movies</a><br>
This works and there is also no security risk, as the site is only
accesible by me.
However in learning I would like to get rid of the parameter in the URL.
Now I can just edit the URL to e.g. dir=/home and be there. To avoid
this I was thinking of using something like:
$_SESSION['dir'] = '/media/video/music' ;
I am unable to find how I could put this in the link and all searches
point me in the direction of using $_GET which is much easier.
Is there a way to do this or should I not be botherd and keep using
$_GET ? I rather not use cookies as they are client side and I would
want to use the same information from different PCs.
As extra information, I also have other parameters next to ?dir on that
page. Some 20 in total.

I just realized that $_SESSION is also client based. Silly me. So
perhaps cookies is a solution. Mmm.

three mechanisms exist to introduce statefullness to HTML
Post variables, get variables and cookies.
