Carrying variables to other pages

[jo.nova]

So, I have some variables in a PHP script that I would like to carry over to a different page when it loads. How do I do it?  With global variables? How would I use them?

[b]page1.php[/b]
[code=php:0]
<?php

// Define variables
$var1 = "foo";
$var2 = "bar";

// Go to a new location, with the vars carried over
Header("Location: page2.php?var1=".$var1."&var2=".$var2."");
?>
[/code]

[b]page2.php[/b]
[code=php:0]
<?php

// Grab the variables the from the $_GET superglobal array
$var1 = $_GET['var1'];
$var2 = $_GET['var2'];

// Echo the variables
echo "Var 1: ".$var1."<br />";
echo "Var 2: ".$var2."<br />";
?>
[/code]

Hmmm...That didn't work.

Here's what I got as a response:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/r/o/c/rocknroll124/html/site/sendfile/test1.php:9) in /home/content/r/o/c/rocknroll124/html/site/sendfile/test1.php on line 16

I read in the manual:

"Note:  Since PHP 4.4.2 and PHP 5.1.2 this function prevents more than one header to be sent at once as a protection against header injection attacks."

Is there another way?

What are you printing to the browser in [b]page1.php[/b]?

If you're printing anything out to the browser on [b]page1.php[/b], you won't be able to use the [b]Header()[/b] method, as not other output can be made to the browser. This method works well for pages that only process data, not display it.

If you want to print something out to the first page, and then carry the variables to another page, you can use a similar method with a hyperlink:

[b]page1.php[/b]
[code=php:0]
<?php

// Define variables
$var1 = "foo";
$var2 = "bar";

// Link to a new location, with the vars carried over
echo "<a href=\"page2.php?var1=".$var1."&var2=".$var2."\">Page2</a>";

?>
[/code]

[b]page2.php[/b]
[code=php:0]
<?php

// Grab the variables the from the $_GET superglobal array
$var1 = $_GET['var1'];
$var2 = $_GET['var2'];

// Echo the variables
echo "Var 1: ".$var1."<br />";
echo "Var 2: ".$var2."<br />";
?>
[/code]
