help using header

[knowram]

I am using the header function to redirect a page. Which works great except when I want to send info to the redirected page.

 

example:

2 pages

a.php

b.php

 

 

If I am on page a.php which has a form on it and I hit submit there which normal refreshes back to its self but one of the check boxes are checked I have it redirecting to page b.php. The redirect works great but I would also like the rest of the variables that where submitted in the form to be accessed on page b.php.

 

Is that at all possible?

 

Thanks for the help

Why don't you just send the form on a.php to b.php? If that's out of the question, use sessions:

 

a.php

 

<?php

session_start();

if(isset($_POST["submit"])) { // If the form has been submitted
foreach($_POST as $var => $value) {
  $_SESSION[$var] = $value; // Now you have a $_SESSION array which is identical to the $_POST array
}
header("Location: b.php"); // Redirect the user
}

?>

 

b.php

 

<?php

session_start();

// From here on you can access all of the $_SESSION variables set in a.php

?>

chigley beat me, but here is my post anyways.

 

Why not just set the form to submit to page b.php?

 

a.php

<form action="b.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="var">
<input type="submit" name="submit">
</form>

 

b.php

<?php
$var = $_POST['var'];
echo $var;

?>

I am not setting the form to submit to page b.php because I have two submit buttons in the same form and depending on which is used it either has to reload its self or go to page b.php

 

looks good however now on page b.php I am getting a Permission denied (13)  error.

 

Any ideas?

Post your code to page b.

[knowram]

my code on page b.php or on page a.php to page b.php?

 

page a.php is 687 lines long

and page b.php is 930 lines long

 

so i am guessing you don't want the whole page.

 

pleas be more specific.
