$Variable = new

[IBTrey]

Hey guys,

 

I'm a newby to PHP and coming from a few years of HTML and CSS it's kinda confusing to me.

 

I'm getting the hang of it but I'm stuck.

 

I have a form and I need to post that data to a different page, I have: $Events = $_REQUEST; but it posts Array.

 

I need to post the form data from my other page, if I do a var_dump it shows my "test" (value I entered) but on the other page shows Array.

 

I've been given a hint by a friend who is helping me with php:

 

$Events = new GalaxyEvents();

Though I'm not sure as to what it means.. can anyone help? :-)

That var_dump of $_REQUEST should tell you all you need to access the value that you want from the posted data.

 

And as for

$Events = new GalaxyEvents();

 

That should create an object of class GalaxyEvents.

Ah I seeee so it creates a class... Thank you!

No it instantiates an existing class, and creates an object.

 

In order to access the values, you need to call the indexes.

$events = $_POST['test'];

PS. Don't use $_REQUEST, it opens up insecurities that you could do without.
