PHP (nothing really - an issue of browser security and privacy) can tell you what the anchor text was - unless you let php give some extra information in your links that tells what that anchor text was.

<a href="mypage.php?txt=aardvark">aardvark</a>

On mypage.php, $_GET['txt'] will equal 'aardvark'.

But that is again a big cumbersome thing to add such an index value for each of the word in the paragraph especiallly when i have 2-3 page long text.

any other solution?
