It possible e.g. like that, but this is a bit useless
can you describe in more details why you need <p> name in php,
or maybe you are looking for functionality using AJAX e.g.
index.html
letter.php
HTML:
<p id="my_p_name">
Lorem ipsum
</p>
<a href="https://somewebpage.com?pName=my_p_name">Lorem</a>can you describe in more details why you need <p> name in php,
or maybe you are looking for functionality using AJAX e.g.
index.html
HTML:
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.7.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">A</a></li>
<li><a href="#">B</a></li>
<li><a href="#">C</a></li>
</ul>
<p id="my_p_name"></div>
<script>
$(() => {
$('ul a').click((e) => {
e.preventDefault();
var letter = e.target.textContent.toLowerCase();
$('#my_p_name').load(`letter.php?selected=${letter}`);
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>letter.php
PHP:
<?php
echo "You chosen the letter {$_GET['selected']}!";
?>

There is a slight difference between $_GET and $_POST.
- $_GET:
- Data in the $_GET array is passed through the URL's query parameters. For example, if you have a URL like example.com/index.php?name=John&age=25, the data is being sent using the GET method.
- It's suitable for passing small amounts of data and is often used for requesting data from the server. However, since the data is part of the URL, it can be visible to the user and may have length limitations depending on the browser and server configuration.
- $_POST:
- Data in the $_POST array is sent through the HTTP request body and is not visible in the URL.
- It's used for sending larger amounts of data and is more secure for transmitting sensitive information like passwords because it's not directly visible in the URL and doesn't have the same length limitations as GET.

I'm afraid you are not understanding what I was suggesting! There is certainly a significant difference between $_GET and $_POST, although I inquired as to if he was familiar with these variables, and if he should experiment to ultimately receive a solution!
