can i just click the hyperlink pass the value to another page?
for example, when click Submit, then pass the $name to another page.
normally we just pass the value using button such as POST or GET.
can the hyperlink do the same function?

Yea i'm sure u can like so:
(for example)

<a href="yourscrpt.php?name=richard">Click here</a>

Yes. That method is part of the PHP superglobals, accessible from the $_GET array.
