使用锚标签进行数据传输

Question

I am building a module in php in which i can see and access all the user on my website,For this i am importing all the names of the user from database and creating anchor links for them at the same time.Now i want to bind data to these links so that i can access that data on another page but the data should not be displayed in the URL I.E. i am looking for an alternate way for this pattern.since i don't want to share that data in URL.

loginatmpt.php?count='.$attempt.'

<?php
if(!$result){
        echo 'Error fetching data';
        exit();
    }
    
    while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
    {
        
        echo "<br><a href=mem_profile.php>".$row['firm_name']."</a>";
    }
    
?>

</div>

If you want to transmit the data but not have it in the URL, you could use HTTPPost (instead of GET, which is what you are doing when you add the parameters to the URL) The data you transmit would still be visible in the source code though. If you have a security issue (i.e. sensible data) you should not have it in the HTML (or javaScript) of your page at all, meaning to get that data from the server when it is needed (and properly authorized)
