passing data to next page , not posting in url

post data to another page (windows)

[NL_Cartman]

Hi again,

I want to use $var's generated in page1.php, in page2.php.

i've seen a linux command that uses "shared memory", is there one for windows too?

[jatar_k]

you could use sessions

PHP Session handling functions [ca.php.net]

Yes that would work, but then i still need to send var's via url's, or store them in cookies/files.

But since one can pass data from a form to another page, via $_POST/Submit, ime sure it must be possible to transfer $var's!

Or ame i just Dreaming?

<form method="post" action="nextpage.php">
<input type="hidden" name="var" value="<?=$var;?>" />
</form>

Like that?

Ooops! -> rather asuming you could use a link to submit it of course (bit early for me... ;))

Hi Nick,

Thats the method ime using now, so i guess, there's no other (cleaner) sollution?

Thanx Again!, & Again :)

<?
session_start();

$_SESSION['myvar']='this will carry';
?>

Make sure you have session_start(); at the top of every script.

Then you can read/write the $_SESSION array as if it were persistant between calls (because it is).

this looks like a clean sollution indeed! :)

thanx aGain Daisho.

would You know if it's possible to process something like this:

if ( $varx < ($vary-2) ) { } , i've tried different (()) positions?

[daisho]

That looks right to me.

$varx=10;
$vary=20;

if ( $varx < ($vary-2) ) {
echo "$varx is smaller";
}

This would hit the echo statemement. If you set $vary=10; it would not hit the statement.

What issue are you having? Can you confirm that both vars are number variables.

[NL_Cartman]

The issue is me writing too many code at once, before testing (ime a newbie to php, if not obvious ;) ).

the line was working, but did not get echo'd because i messed up the (last) echo line some 20 lines of code before it: echo "lets be stupid<br" ; took me a long time to See it.

My Xcuses :S , ThanX

[daisho]

That happens to the best of use. Typo's will forever be your enemy. I sure every seasoned programer here can tell you about 6 hours into a mind blowing problem it turned out to be a simple typo.

I am stuck in the middle of one now that has been going on for a day and a half.

It won't change when you get more proficient NL_Cartman, sometimes I think it gets worse.

thanx for the mental support Guy'Z :)
