variable passing

[tcorbeil]

Ok.. run into a new problem...  I have a page that calls an external script for processing and I need a variable from the main page to be available in the external script..

 

Is there a way to pass a variable from the main page into the external script? Or if not, is there a way to make the variable global os something?

 

Thanks.

lookup up $_GET[''] or session's

Using curl you can send specific headers, along with this you can send "POST" data and store that variable in the POST data. http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php

 

Or you can do something like this:

 

http://www.site.com/external.php?varname=value

 

that will allow you to pull the value via $_GET data.

$_GET

$_POST

$_COOKIE

, etc...

That variable SHOULD be available....

 

if you have

 

$myVariable = "test";

include("/print_test.php");

 

and if print_test.php is > echo $myVariable;

 

It should print it out. Not sure why their is an issue here. Just make sure the call is after it.

 

Try looking into functions if it is causeing problems and pass it to the function if needed.

I noticed that your include does not have let's say ?$myVariable at the end of the php file.. am i missing something?

 

Also, you mention to echo $myVariable but can I do something like:

 

$var2 = echo $myVariable;

 

Thanks.

It seems that most instances where I have seen variables passed were from HTML script (eg href="script.php?myvalue")to another page.. I gues in my situation I'm looking to pass a variable from a php script .. is this maybe why I am not getting anywere? In my previous post, you will see how I am trying to pass the varible.. maybe this is not possible?

 

Thanks.
