redranger8487 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Hi Everyone..I am trying to pass a variable from a master page to another page, which is then called into an iframe on the master page. Its for a slideshow. I need to pass the URL of the Master page to the client(slideshow) page, so that it can figure out which folder it has to access in order to display the images. I have tried SESSIONS & COOKIES, but seems not to hold the values in it. The Session(and cookie) variables are holding the value on the master page(verified by "echo $_SESSION['variable'];" on the master page), but is NULL on the client page. I do not know why. Please suggest a method to pass a variable from the Master to client page (both are PHP pages). I have been held up at this roadblock for over 2 weeks. Any help is greatly appreciated..Thanks a lot!!

BobcatM Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Are the Master page and Client page on the same server? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POG1 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 If its in a frame why not just use GET? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redranger8487 Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 If its in a frame why not just use GET? HI POG1, Thanks for responding. I am trying to implement a slideshow that automatically starts on page load. The (dynamic)URL of the master page has to be passed to the client page automatically, at page load. The client page would then load the appropriate image folder, based on that URL. Please let me know if you how to acheive that using GET/POST. Thanks.

madspof Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 i guess it worked ? :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redranger8487 Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 i guess it worked ? :-) I was waiting for your email..I do not know how to use the GET method to get this done. The URL has to pass to the custom.php file as soon as the manufacturer page loads. Im not aware of a way to pass the URL automatically to the custom.php file, on page load. Please let me know if you have an idea.Thanks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
