Hi Professionals

 

 

I have the following piece of code on my Upload page

 

<td width="33%" align="left"> <?php if ($result==1) header("Location: import1.php?$imagename");  ?></td>

 

 

which then goes to import1.php

 

in my browser address bar it shows http://localhost/import1.php?uploads/ExtTypes Test.csv

 

 

In my import1.php file i have the following code which shows nothing?

 

echo "the filename is " . $imagename;

 

Alll it shows is "the file name is"

 

 

any ideas?

 

thanks in advance

Using query string, you need to use key=value way of passing values like 

<td width="33%" align="left"> <?php if ($result==1) header("Location: import1.php?imagename=$imagename");  ?></td>

and in import1.php page you need to get the value using GET method like this

$imagename = $_GET['imagename'];
echo "the filename is " . $imagename;

may this will help you

@Q695,

 

a number of your replies in threads have nothing to do with the problem in the thread. are you even reading and understanding what is being asked?

When using the header tag, and passing data it uses the redirect function, unless they want it in the address bar, then it's $_GET.

So, no.

 

 

OP: Post your updated code so we can see what you did.

The header items must go before the client sees anything AT ALL.

 

 

 

He has a valid point here, the OP posted code that attempts a header redirect after outputting a td tag, without output buffering, this will cause the header call to fail.

Some people don't know how to use a header, or how to use a <a href> tag.

 

If my reply has nothing to do with the question, then use a

<?php echo "<a href='import1.php?$imagename'>link text</a>";?>

now my url just shows

 

http://localhost/import1.php?uploads/ExtTypesTest.csv=uploads/ExtTypesTest.csv

 in the import1.php page

 

and still shows "the filename is"

 

Is this after you submit your form?

Can you post your form and import1.php?

 

Are you using enctype="multipart/form-data in your form?

<form action="import1.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">...</form>
