[SOLVED] quick question :d

[adv]

hello i`ve played a little in php and there`s a thing that i don`t understand.

I have a file :  test.txt , inside of it i have

&test=testing&value=cool&blabla=ok

 

and in php

$h=file_get_contents('test.txt');
parse_str($h);

i know that parse_str()  makes strings into variables

and  u can acces $test as a variable

but the thing is i dont understand how it keeps it .. where it keeps the strings made into variables

how does it know..

kinda weird question :| sorry if  i didnt make myself clear ... my english is buggy

[kenrbnsn]

Just use it:

<?php
$str = '&test=testing&value=cool&blabla=ok';
parse_str($str);
echo $test;
?>

ken i knew all that

i`ve used file_get_contents intentionally

i just wanted to know how php memorize it all

 

but the thing is i dont understand how it keeps it .. where it keeps the strings made into variables
how does it know.. 

 

not to show me i can echo it :|

[premiso]

It keeps them in a GET/POST array.

 

<?php
echo $_GET['test'];
?>

 

Would output "testing".

thanks

i have another question and i dont think is needed to open a new thread

my question is this

 

i have email.php

 

 
<?php
if(isset($_GET['sendEmail'])){
$sendEmail=1;
$value1=$_GET['value1'];
$value2=$_GET['value2'];
$value3=$_GET['value3'];
}
if($senEmail==1){
mail('email.com','subject','testing');
}
?>

 

and in another file i have this

<?php
$remote_send='http://site.com/email.php?';
$send_mail=1;
$value1='firstvalue';  $value2='secondvalue'; $value3='thirdvalue';
if($send_mail==1){
$remote_send.='sendEmail=&value1='.urlencode($value1).'&value2='.urlencode($value2).'&value3='.urlencode($value3);
}
?>

 

but it doesnt send , i dont understand why

if i do this :

http://site.com/email.php?sendEmail=&value1=firstvalue&value2=secondvalue&value3=thirdvalue

if sends the email

You're not invoking the script that sends the email from the first script, you're just setting a bunch of variables.

thanks ken

but how do i invoke it ?

 

[kenrbnsn]

Make it into a clickable link. Or use the header function to transfer to the page. Or use curl to invoke it without transferring to it.
