OJBECTIVE: My goal is to send a $_GET or $_POST variable from an RSS feed when the user clicks on a link housed within the <description> subelement of an <item> tag. The data from the superglobal will be used to display content on a host webpage designed as an index for all <item>s hosted within the same and ultimately other channels. CODE SAMPLE: <item> . . <description>Grammar Captive Free Weekly Podcasts: <![CDATA[<a href='http://www.grammarcaptive.com/podcasting/podcasts.php?episode_no=003' title='Episode Title' target='_self'>Episode No. 003</a>]]></description> . . </item> QUESTION: Will by placing the link with the intended address and appended http request code into a CDATA tag allow users to send the desire episode number to the designated PHP page for processing. ADVANCED STRATEGY: If the above is possible, do you have any suggestions in regard to the best way for the receiving PHP page to call up the material relevant to the designated episode? For example, I am contemplating the use of a SWITCH statement that would route the incoming episode number to a block of PHP or Javascript code that would insert the contents of another webpage, whose URL is the episode number of the incoming HTTP_REQUEST, and whose content is dedicated to the episode corresponding to the incoming episode number, into another webpage (likely the same page that contains the SWITCH statement) that serves as an index for all completed and upcoming episodes.
