php script that can grab a variable from a different php

[faux]

basically if you read this, then you can see they have a "passing-var.php" and a "catching-var.php" How can i make this happen without the passing-var.php and make the catching-var.php actually GET a variable

You can append GET arguments directly to the URL string.

 

http://www.website.com/your_processing_script.php?arg1=value1&arg2=value2&arg3=value3 etc.

Noted, but broken link.

The link is an example of how to append those arguments, not an actual link . . .

Sorry, lol. Went right over my head.

I'm a little confused on how this will exactly work. Can you possibly show an example?

without knowing exactly your intentions I would add why not use sessions e.g. $_SESSION['setexamplesessionhere'] = $somevariable;

www.example.com/script.php?arg1=something&arg2=somethingelse&arg3=blah

arg1=something
arg2=somethingelse
arg3=blah

 

Those are variables passed by the URL and retrieved via $_GET. The "?" denotes all things passed after it are variables. The "&" seperates variables from each other. With this method you can pass variables across as many scripts as you want.

 

You can pass these variables in a FORM or you can pass them as URLs.

 

You get the variables like this:

 

$x = $_GET['arg1'];
$y = $_GET['arg2'];
$z = $_GET['arg3'];

$x === "something";
$y === "somethingelse";
$z === "blah";
