send variable from php tp php file

 


Talk2Tom11
I was wondering if there was some way that i would be able to send a variable from a php file to another php file.

for example... if i have $name, where the value for $name came from a html POST from the previous page. How would i transfer the value of $name to the next php page?

Sorry if my wording is a little confusing.

Code:
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['name'] = $name;
?>

On your other page you should put this above all your code:
Code:
<?php
session_start();
$name = $_SESSION['name'];
?>

or you could use cookies, but they aren't as reliable as users sometimes disable them.

Or you could use $_GET

//Vars before here, such as name

$endlinks = "name=$name&";

echo "<a href='thisisalinktoapage.php?".$endlinks."'>link</a>

Of course, that isn't that reliable, and requires you to have defined all the vars before you create the links.

I'd suggest sticking with sessions.

Yeah the session is the best solution. But I would like to little bit extend the Roald script with one line. In many situation and for security reason is very good praktice to unset ones used $_SESSION.

Code:
<?php
session_start();
$name = $_SESSION['name'];
unset($_SESSION['name']);
?>
