Passing on $_POST variables

[DanFTW]

How do I pass on $_POST variables to a third page? ex.  the form is on-->dropdownform.php the action submits it to-->formhandler.php-->  How can I pass it on to another page?  Thanks in advance!

you can create a hidden form type and set the value to the $_POST variables, so if the user clicked on submit button, it will pass the data to the next page.

 

or, the urgly way, put your data as a parameter in the url e.g,

formhandler.php?name=kevin&age=17......

Or...on page two, you can redefine the post variable. It will post to page three just fine.

 

Example:

 

Page#2..

<?php

  $_POST['caca'] = $_POST['caca'];

?>

look up cURL()

[DanFTW]

thanks a lot 

[DanFTW]

<?php

 

  $_POST['caca'] = $_POST['caca'];

 

?>

 

and in this ^^^ where is the page to where it will pass on the ['caca'] part too? lmao

You're probably better off using form processing classes or functions, rather than seperate pages.

 

Example...

 

<?php

class forms
{

  function process($vars) {
    //Do your thang 
  }

}

$f = new forms;

  if(isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['submit'] != '') {
    $f->process($_POST);
  }
?>

or, you can use session variable to store you data...

there are plenty of ways! : )

[DanFTW]

ah!!! session, didn't think of that!  haha i'm a beginner you can obviously tell =P.  Or is this possible? multiple actions? send to 2 pages?

[DanFTW]

^^^ in the html form part of the thing.

[kevin7]

erm... not so sure about that, i dont think so you can do that in the form alone,

you might the help of javascript (AJAX)....

once again,

you're better off with cURL()

 

let me show you an example:

 

<?php

function makeVars($array){
$x = 0;
foreach($array as $key => $val){
	$vars[$x] = $key . '=' . $val;
	$x++;
}

$variables = implode("&", $vars);

}

function Post($vars,$url){
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
        curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,1);
        #curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_UPLOAD,1);
        curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$vars);
        curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);
}

// enter your post data here:
$postdata = array("caca" => "value", "key" => "val"); // enter as many values as you wish

$url = "http://www.website.com/script.php"; // where you want to post the data to

makeVars($postdata);

Post($variables, $url);

/*
IN THE URL THAT IS RECEIVING THE DATA,
PUT THIS CODE:

echo $_POST['caca'];
echo "<br />";
echo $_POST['key'];


*/

?>
