Yes, the above statement is wrong.

You can send parameters with links.  Here is how an example of reading the parameters in PHP and setting a link with parameters:

<?php

    if (isset($_GET['x'])) {
      $x = $_GET['x'];
      $x = $x + 1;

    } else {
        $x = 1;
    }
?>
<p>The value of x is <?php echo $x ?></p>
<a href="?x=<?php echo $x ?>>Add one</a>



Use the $_GET and set your URL with the parameters using the form of http://blah.blah.com/page.php?var1=1&var2=2
