Sending a $_GET value with out href links

[eldan88]

Hey guys. I am trying to send a $_GET['order_id'] from an order confirmation page, to a different php file in my application. Is there a way I can accomplish this with out links? Thanks!

Did a bit of research on Google... try this.

 

 

<?php
ob_start();
include 'filetoinclude.php';
ob_end_clean();
?>

 

That way, you can prevent the file you're including to output data and still access the script usually.

You could use a header?

 

Example:

 

<?PHP

  $name = 'Peter';
  $city = 'Canada';
 
  header('Location: file.php?name='.$name.'&city='.$city.');
  exit;
 
?>

 

That would re-direct you to "file.php?name=Peter&city=Canada".

You would need to use the above code BEFORE any output.

Thanks for that info. But the user will be redirected to a file I don't want them to be redirected to.

The code I gave you is not meant to be put into production, it is an EXAMPLE.

 

Modify it to suit your needs?

 

From your other post I saw "order_confirmation.php"

 

You could use

<?PHP
 
  $orderID = 12345;
 
  header('Location: order_confirmation.php?order_id='.$orderID.'');
  exit;
?>

*Edit - I have a feeling I'm missing something...or just not getting what you've said?

Did you see the responses to the same question you asked yesterday?

If these don't work, it might help if you provide a little more information on what you're trying to accomplish.
