Hi!

I am writing a simple shopping cart system which uses sessions and PHP.

I would like a normal link that says "Add to cart" which the user can
click and the item is added to the cart.

However, i do not want to use GET for this as it could introduce
unwanted features if the user bookmarks the page just after clicking
"Add to cart". So i don't want an URL like:
http://thisistheurl.com?buy=10 and therefore prefer if this could be
done using POST.

It would have been easy if i would have used a normal FORM and would
have had a button called "Add to cart". But i would like it to be in
url-style or using some <img ..> which i understand that the BUTTON item
does not support (or am i wrong?).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards, Kent
