Wholesaler Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Hi, The guy who usually does the php isnt online and I need to release a project asap my problem is that I don't know php and I am doing some reading - anyway I need to pass the value passed through download to the php script that I am calling but I have no idea how to do this. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Login</title> </head> <body> <form method="POST" action="check1.php?download=<?php $_GET['download'] ?>"> Username:<br /> <input type="text" name="username" /> <br /><br /> Password:<br /> <input type="password" name="password" /> <br /><br /> <input type="submit" id="subbut" value="Submit" /> </form> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wholesaler Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Ok, it doesn't look like it worked and the changes I made wont delete the temp file either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cags Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Assuming I understand you, the code you have looks essentially correct bar one thing. You have <?php $_GET['download'] ?> which assumably means you want the value of $_GET['download'] to appear at that point in the HTML, that being the case you need to echo/ print it out. (also don't forget the semicolon) <form method="POST" action="check1.php?download=<?php echo $_GET['download']; ?>"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wholesaler Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Thanks so much, one more question I have tried unlink($fileName); to delete a file but I am unable to get it to work. Is this what I should be using to delete the file? $fileName = uniqueFilename($username); $fh = fopen($fileName, 'w') or die("can't open file"); fputs($fh, put data in file); fclose($fh); output_file($fileName, 'test.txt', ''); unlink($fileName) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cags Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 unlink certainly should be the correct way to delete a file. The fact that you use fclose, should mean that the file won't be locked. To my knowledge output_file is not a built in PHP function, so I rather suspect whatever that function does is causing what you are percieving as the problem.
