$_POST on Includes

   Frihost Forum Index -> Scripting -> Php and MySQL

Hello,

I have a main page.

index.php

What includes

include("template/defualt/index.php");

And what i want is when a form is posted.

the $_POST["username"] wont work inside the template/defualt/index.php file.

I can't use a index.php?username=$_POST["username"] in the url to do it that way because its going to a few hundred posts and gets all over the site.

My friend said i can do it with globals but im not sure how to get them to work.

Thanks if you can help me!

I can't really work out what you're trying to do from your post but I think what you should be looking at for things like "saving" username between pages is $_SESSION varaibles.

It will require you to have session_start() at the beginning of every page and this must come before any other output. Having a look here should get you started:

the $_POST var is accessible from included files :\

I was thinking about using a session.

But would you be able to do like a foreach of the $_POSTs?

I have found a solution for my problem.

Code:
foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {
$addon_url .= "&" . $key . "=" . $value;
}

include("template/defualt/index.php?something=s" . $addon_url);


Seems to work for me ok.

You should use sessions if you have a large amount of $POST variables. If you keep them in the URL, weird things can happen, like a user sends a link to someone and it has all of their data. Sessions aren't perfectly secure, but they are a lot better.

Code:
<?php
ob_start(); session_start();
echo $_SESSION['username'];

foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {
$_SESSION[$key] = $value;
}
echo $_SESSION['username'];
include($site[url] . "template/" . $template . "/index.php?url=" . $site[url] . "&page=" . $page . "&page2=" . $page2);
echo $_SESSION['username'];
?>


Thats my new code.

The first echo session echos the last one (as it should)
The second echos the session now (as it should)
But the third one don't echo any thing
And on the included page don't seem be able to get the sessions.
