Post information retrieved from database

[gavin.sibley]

Hello,

 

i have a page that retrieves information from a database, if i echo out $slide[ip] it will display the correct information. How can i send this information to another page?

 

scenario:

 

1. i have a page that retrieves the information

 

2. when i press download on that page i need the ip field to be able to be sent to the script that generates the download.

 

 

any ideas?

 

many thanks,

Gavin

You could create a form with the [download] button that posts to your script, pass:

 

<input type="hidden" name="ip" value="<?php echo $slide[ip]; ?>" />

 

In your second page, check for $_POST['ip']

I'm no expert, but maybe you could start a session and then run the query putting the variables in to the session?

 

You can then call on the session variable whenever you want to when the session is open?

Hello Wigwambam,

 

thanks for your reply. i am a novice to php though (just trying to fix a website that someone else broke) is there any chance you could tell me how to do what you said, if i post the code for the current button?

 

<?php if($slide[upload_photo_zip] == "none"){ echo("Not Uploaded Yet"); }else{ echo("<a href='http://www.mydomain.co.uk/generate.php'>Download</a>"); } ?>)</em></td>

 

thats the code for the curent download button. if you could tell me how to insert your suggestion into this that would be great, i have had a go but cant seem to get it working?

 

many thanks,

gavin
