(Top posting fixed)

You can't send a form from a link. All you can do is send data as part
of the URL. But that has nothing to do with PHP - that's just straight
HTML. You need to be asking those questions in alt.html.

And MySQL is a database - nothing more, nothing less. It allows you to
store data more easily. It has nothing to do with session or anything
else on the PHP/HTML side.

P.S. Please don't top post. Thanks.
