Querystring / Page Name

[stig1]

Hey everyone here at phpfreaks

 

What I would like to know, if possible, is how would i achieve the following:

 

I have a page called confirm.php?id=[uniqueid]

 

[uniqueid] = the next record in the database, so 1 to any number possible.

 

I would like the page to just show confirm.php in the url, however, I still want to pull out of the database some information about the record that was just entered.

 

so from confirm.php?id=100 to just confirm.php

 

Any ideas?

How are you arriving at that page? As the result of a form submission, or what?

[stig1]

arriving from a page called process which processes the form data and then sends a header location of confirm.php?id=100

[Pikachu2000]

You mean process actually uses a header() redirect to send the user to confirm? Are the 2 scripts part of the same domain?

[stig1]

yep, so basically i submit the form to a processing page, if errors, returns back to the submit page, but if no errors, it goes to the confirm page.

Ok, so it does use a header() redirect, but are they part of the same domain or not?

[stig1]

yes, same domain.

 

my header redirect at preset is confirm.php?id=100 but i want the url in the browser to just show confirm.php

Then you should be able to set a $_SESSION variable in process, then get the value of it in the script that is the target of the redirect. Then you can remove the ?id=100 from the url string.
