[SOLVED] Passing multiple variables in header URL

[TGWSE_GY]

I am wondering if when using header you can pass more than 1 variable in the header and if so how do you separate the variables?

 

Thanks

You can set whatever headers you want. Ex:

 

header('var1=' . $var1);
header('var2=' . $var2);

 

and so on...

okay here is what the header looks like so far,

 

header ("Location: http://www.thegayestcommunityever.com/dev/index.php?section=fsearchresults");

that forwards them to the next page but I am wanting to pass an additional value with that header would I use & char for separating variables in header.

 

Thanks

Ahh, you are mixing up headers, and URL variables. The headers are information that are sent along with a document to tell the receiving system what to do with it. I told you how to pass some variables as headers - but you have to pull them out as headers as well.

 

You are trying to pass variables in the URL. You can do that like this:

 

example.com?var1=dog&var2=cat&var3=monkey

 

Separate each of the variables using the & sign.

 

If you are using XHTML, then you probably want to use this instead:

 

example.com?var1=dog&var2=cat&var3=monkey

 

separate each of the variables using & - this is valid XHTML.

Okay so once that variable is passed via the header how do I pull it from the header?

Mate, you didn't read what I wrote. You aren't passing variables in the header, you are passing variables in the URL.

 

To get the values, you use:

 

$_GET['var1']  // This will be equal to dog
$_GET['var2']  // This will be equal to cat
$_GET['var3']  // This will be equal to monkey
