lordphate Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 So this may sound like a dumb question but here it goes anyway: I want to make $room_id = $_GET["room"] BUT i need it called on another page. How can i do this? I.E. http://www.domain.com/index.php?room=2 $room_id = 2 ^^ Now i need $room_id 's variable to transfer to another php file... that is not called directly by the url.. any suggestions?

lordphate Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 the $room_id = $_GET["room"] calls /inc/common.php which calls another file that calls the file i'm needing room_id in Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/52749-fetching-variables/#findComment-260470 Share on other sites More sharing options...

chigley Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Sessions are the way forward. file.php <?php session_start(); // This line is VITAL ~ possibly what you missed out $_SESSION["variable"] = "value"; header("Location: otherfile.php"); ?> otherfile.php <?php session_start(); echo $_SESSION["variable"]; ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/52749-fetching-variables/#findComment-260998 Share on other sites More sharing options...
