如何使我的锚标签从桌子上转移信息？

Question

I have an anchor tag that displays a users name and clicked it is supposed take you to their profile page. I created a form with a post method that I need for accessing that users profile. How can I make the anchor tag act as the form?

I need the post method with the form to access that user's profile page. $post is a varaible from a foreach loop.

<a href = "profiles.php"  id = "name1"><h1>'.$post["UserID"].'</h1></a> 
<form action = "profiles.php"  method = "POST" >
    <input type="submit" class="post id= "nameid" name="id" value= "'.$post["UserID"].'">
</form>

Unless you handle the link with client-side code instead of just letting it be a link, you can't.

The anchor will send a GET request, while your form is sending a POST request.

If you're okay with that, you can append the user id to the query string in the href.

'<a href="profiles.php?id='.$post["UserID"].'" id="name1"><h1>'.$post["UserID"].'</h1></a>'

Then you can get the id from $_GET['id'] in profiles.php. That may not be what you want to do if you don't want the user id in the URL. In my opinion would be fine though, and maybe even preferable. That would make it easier for a user to bookmark their profile.
