Why not just something CGI-flavored, like:

  <A href="display_stats.php3&file=mustang.dat">mustang</A>

(being careful, of course, as to what you actually agree to opening and
reading in; e.g., abort if they say "file=/etc/passwd" :^) )


In your "display_stats.php3" file, you can refer to the variable as:

  $file
