Forward to page alongwith Variables in POST

How to forward a page to another page alongwith the parameters passed into it

 

I mean I have page a.php

which is called with some parameters in $_POST and I require to pass these to another page with same variables in $_POST

 

Please Help for the same

 

Thanks in advance

just use a form with the post attribute. set all of the $_POST variables as hidden inputs with the same name as the $_POST[].

 

something like:

echo '<input type="hidden" name="NAME OF VARIABLE HERE" value="' . $_POST['NAME OF VARIABLE HERE'] . '" />';

[MemphiS]

<form action='b.php' method='post'>

any variables you set on a.php will be posted to b.php

 

im assuming that what your looking for..

[chigley]

a.php (this file has already received some post variables)

 

<?php

echo "<form action=\"b.php\" method=\"post\">\n";

foreach($_POST as $k => $v) {
echo " <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"$k\" value=\"$v\" />\n";
}

// Output the rest of your form here

?>

[csplrj]

No The whole scenorio is

 

ab.html has all the elements

 

it has form tag with action to a.php

 

a.php later requires to forward the variables in the $_POST to b.php as POST only

 

I hope now you got my question

 

i do not require to show another form in a.php but it will forward the controls to b.php

 

Thanks in advance

You'd have to use cURL, which is pretty stupid. Why not set each of the post variables on a.php as a session variable, redirect to b.php and load the session variables there?

[Dragen]

I think chigley's got your answer there. Sounds the best idea for what you need

[csplrj]

Thanks But I thought if there was some better way out as In JSP we can forward the control to other page without browser being acknowledged about it,So I thought if PHP has some such sort of functionality

 

Thanks in advance

why go to all the trouble when you cold easily use a form or sessions?

with sessions the user wouldn't have to have any interaction to carry the variables across, it would just happen.

[per1os]

You want sessions man 

 

www.php.net/session

www.php.net/session_start

 

Remember that session_start(); has to be at the top of a.php and b.php before ANY output is sent to the screen.

 

a.php

<?php
session_start();

// register post as session vars
foreach ($_POST as $key => $val) {
       $_SESSION[$key] = $val;
}

// goto b.php somehow
echo '<a href=b.php>Goto B.php</a>';
?>

 

 

b.php

<?php
session_start();

// viola the variables are passed to b.php without the user ever knowing.
echo '<pre>',print_r($_SESSION),'</pre>'; // thanks to chigley for pointing out that mistake.
?>

 

[chigley]

I don't think:

 

echo '<pre>',$_SESSION,'</pre>'

 

Will work... will it? I've always used:

 

echo "<pre>".print_r($_SESSION,true)."</pre>";

[per1os]

No it won't, just a typo on my part.

 

Note edited the code I posted to reflect the correct way to print out an array =)
