If it's a session var then use $_SESSION If you just want to pass a form value use $_POST or $_GET depending on the method

You seem to be confused between concepts here. Passing a variable between forms using the submit button is all to do with using the $_POST and $_GET superglobal arrays. $_SESSIONS is another superglobal array which is generally used to maintain a value during that users visit to a site, regardless of the page they are on.

 

Page1.php

<form action ="Page2.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="username" />
<input type="submit" value="Send" />
</form>

 

Page2.php

<form action ="Page2.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="username" value="<?php echo $_POST['username']; ?> />
<input type="submit" value="Send" />
</form>

Ohhhhh No ,

Actually i tried that all but its not work properly.

Its a session variable & i need it on further forms so how to i pass session value to other forms without hit enter key.

to get to the next page, a button of some sort needs to be pressed... I assume....

 

if thats the case, then the best way is to POST the info to the next page.

 

you can store the info in a session like below;

 

session_start();
$_SESSION['textarea']= ['textarea'];
header( "Location: nextpage.php" );

 

then on the top of the next page....

 

<?php
//start the session
session_start();

//check to make sure the session variable is registered
if(isset($_SESSION['textarea'])){
$text=$_SESSION['textarea'];
}
else{
//the session variable isn't registered, send them to the error page
header( "Location: errorpage.php" );
}
?>

 

this saves your 'textarea' info into a variable called $text

I m sure session variable is registered bcz after press the enter button it take its value then i click on next link for next page & there i use session variable in my query to filter data. Its mean the session is registered but the problem is how to put value in session without press enter key.

In order to put a form value inside a session the form has to be submitted. Either that or use ajax

[dimple]

I m using ajax autocomplete in textbox which value is stored in session after submission.
