title: How can I pass data from one page to another using PHP and Javascript?
body: <p>I have 3 buttons (image links, eventually will evolve to javascript or something better though) </p>
  
  <p>Each of these buttons should send a value to a handler script, which does choice 1 if button 1 is pressed, choice 2, so on and so forth.</p>
  
  <p>I'm wondering what the best way to do this is. I DON'T WANT TO USE GET. I'd like to use POST if that's possible but I don't think it is. I thought about cookies too but the problem is even though you can call a JS function to create a cookie via a link, you can't go to the PHP page for processing, within the same click can you?</p>
  
  <p>It would work like the user clicks the button img, then it takes them to the handler script, but the handler redirects them back before they even know they were there.</p>
  
  <p>Again this isn't a form, I need to do this with a hyperlink. I suppose I could just have a different page for each choice, but I don't think that's efficient.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
