passing a variable in my chat script

[A2xA]

In the script I have two files the hub.php file and the chat.php file.  The hub.php file has the form and style where the chat.php has the code.

 

In the chat.php file it creates a text file.  I need the variable from the hub.php page passed to the chat.php page for the name of it.

 

In the hub.php page I've got..

 

 

<?php $hubid = $_GET['hubid'];

//Some Code
?>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="./chat.php?hubid=<?=$hubid?>">
</script>

 

In the second chat.php page I've got..

<?php

$hubid = $_GET['hubid'];
$hubid2 = $hubid;

// Path to the text files holding the chat window content
$fn = $hubid2.txt;

?>

 

This is not working and I was wondering how to pass the variable.  If someone could help I would greatly appreciate it.

Why are you trying to include a text/javascript file that is of a .php extension?

It's the chat.php page that has all of the javascript functions for the chat script. 

 

Here's the whole form that is sending info to the chat.php page.

 

<div id="chat">Connecting...</div>
 <input id="message" type="text" size="53" maxlength="100" onkeyup="keyup(event);" />
<input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="chat_write();" /><br />
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="./chat.php?hubid=<?php echo $hubid ?>">

 

All i need in the chat.php page is the variable passed from this page.

place it in a session variable?

 

hub.php

<?php
  session_start();
  $_SESSION['hubid'] = $_GET['hubid'];

//Some Code
?>

 

chat.php

<?php
session_start();

$hubid = $_SESSION['hubid'];
$hubid2 = $hubid;

// Path to the text files holding the chat window content
$fn = $hubid2.txt;
?>

 

or you can post/get it in a hidden form

 

<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $hubid; ?>" />
