[SOLVED] Pushing a variable through while using header()

[ArizonaJohn]

Hi,

 

The code below is on a page where a variable called $find has a value.  If I wanted to push that $find value through to search2.php, what is the best way to do that?

 

Thanks.

 

$anymatches=mysql_num_rows($result);
if ($anymatches == 0)
{

header("Location:search2.php");
exit;
   
}

Probably GET would be the best method.

 

header('Location: search.php?find=' . $find);

 

Then you could recover it in search.php using:

 

$_GET['find']

You wont nee to concat if its in double quotes - less work

 

header("Location: search.php?find=$find");

Less work for you maybe. But more work for the PHP engine. Admittedly it's not going to make a huge difference in the grand scheme of things, but yeah.

Serious?  Ive been using {$variables} like crazy, didnt think it made any difference

If you have 10k of them (not in an echo statement), it adds about 1ms to the page generation time. If you are echoing the string they are in, it is actually faster using {$variables} inside the quoted string.

Thanks Wolphie and Dreamwest, it works.
