如果单击PHP的链接，则设置变量

Question

I'm really novice to PHP so sorry in advance if the question is really stupid. But thank you for paying attention to the post and helping!

<?php
   if ($tableResult = mysqli_query($conn,"show tables")){
        while($table = mysqli_fetch_array($tableResult)) {
            echo("<th>". "<a class = 'list_tables'>". $table[0] . "</a>" ."</th>");
      }
   }else{
        die("<b>"."No Table in Database!"."</b>");
      }
?>

If I want to set a variable for the link clicked, and the variable contains a value of the shown name, how do I do that?

If I'm wording it badly, please tell me, I will try to word it more clearly.

Thanks a lot for helping! It really means a lot to me

Welcome :)

If I'm reading this correctly, you want to pass which table was clicked to another page (or to the page you're on when it's reloaded). To do that, just set your href to something like this:

<a href='?clickedTable=$table[0]' class='list_tables'>". $table[0] . "</a>

Then on the php page, accept that variable like this:

$table = $_GET["clickedTable"];
