[SOLVED] Pass Var - simple question

[JMair]

How do pass a Var from 1.php to 2.php?

note, 1.php and 2.php are in two diff folders.

Can anybody give a quick example, or point me in the correct direction?

 

 

Very glad I've found this site. I took a PHP class about a year ago and now wishing I retained a little more  :-\

page1.php

page2.php

 

echo $_GET['var'];
?>

LOL

I mean yes like Maq stated. Use $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE, $_SESSION, Write it to a database, or write it to a file.

I didnt clearify my problem. Here's is an example of my problem. It's getting php return to be sent over to page2.php along with the form action. The _Get or _POST works fine with the form, but not the php...

 

 

1.php

<form action= "subdirectory/2.php" method="post">

<?php

$YourGayUserName = 'Burt';
echo $YourGayUserName;

?>
  </p>
  <p>Select User: 
    <select name="guser">
<option value="Select User">UnSelected</option>
<option value="User1">Gay User One</option>
<option value="User2">Gay User Two</option>
<option value="User3">Gay Three</option>
</select>


<input type="submit" />
  </p>
</form>

 

 

 

2.php

<?php
echo $_GET['$YourGayUserName'] ."and " .$_POST['guser'];;
?>

your $_GET statement wont work.  $_GET does not pull random variables from a previous page, it only pulls variables from the URL of the current page

 

$_POST['guser'] should work just fine though

[JMair]

the result is

 

and User1

 

I think this is because I have a php variable and Form variables and using the Form variable to 'submit' the form to the next page. The php variable is not properlly called. I hope I'm explaining myself correctly enough.

[Maq]

In this case you can just use a hidden field.

 

page1.php

 

</pre>
<form action="subdirectory/2.php" method="POST">

$YourGayUserName = 'Burt';
echo $YourGayUserName;
?>
  
  
Select User:
    
UnSelected
Gay User One
Gay User Two
Gay Three



  
<

 

 

2.php

Use the POST method for both vars: (You had an extra ';' here)

 

echo $_POST['$YourGayUserName'] ." and " .$_POST['guser'];
?>

[JMair]

page2.php

<?php
echo $_POST['YourGayUserName'] ." and " .$_POST['guser'];
?>

 

YOU rock. Thank very much!
