How do you set links for the same page?

Im looking to make a simple text-based game, and i was wondering how you set links for actions to be on the same page, so you wouldnt have to be redirected to a different page. So basically i just want everything in the game to be on one page, jus not all displayed at once.

Basically, you need to refresh the page, but this time with new variables. If your page is called game.php, and you are updating the health:

$health = $_REQUEST['health'];
$health++;
echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='game.php?health=$health'>";

This will constantly refresh the page, increasing the health by 1 every time.

If you are trying to avoid lots of different php files on the server for every page of the game, then pass a variable to php. E.g. the URL game.php?page=start would set the variable $_REQUEST['page'] in your php script and you can make a condition based off of that.

If you are trying to avoid the page refreshing, then AJAX is the correct answer.
