Webmaster, thanks very much but I think it would be safer to do that by
post, not by get. Furthermore, if I use indivudual files
("searchProductInsertId.php", "searchMemberInsertId.php"...), I think it
is easy: in each link of the menu I can type:
<a href="searchProductInsertId.php">Search</a>,
<a href="searchMemberInsertId.php">Search</a> etc.
But, due to the fact that the html part of each SearchInsertId page
doesn't have many differences between various search pages (in first
case will show a message "type a productId to find" and will be
connected with "searchProduct.php", in second case will show a message
"type a memberId to find" and will be connected with "searchMember.php",
and so on), I thought to make a searchSomethingWithId page, where the
text and post php page will differentiate dependetly on what user had
clicked on menu. So I think that the problem I have, is what exactly
should be writen on each "Search", "Add" of menu so as to help the
searchSomethingWithId page to understand what "search" or "add" was
clicked, and secondly, what should be written on searchSomethingWithId
page so as to call the appropriate "search" or "add" php page.
I have some code about sessions and global values, I would preffer a
solution involving global values if it is safe. I used in past forms and
buttons to send information to php page but now I would like to use text
links instead of buttons.

I hope I helped you to understand and give me some help :)
Thaks a lot!
