Passing variable via URL

[ainoy31]

I am passing a variable from one page via the URL and requesting it on another page -> $_REQUEST['id1'];

 

I need to gave this data and then pass it to another page.  Do I use the same method or can I assign the request data to a new variable?  Hope this is not confusing.  Much appreciation.

slightly, but try passing it using a session

 

are you saying you have:

 

http://www.mypage.com/mypage.php?id2=$var

 

?

 

and you want to have it then go to:

 

http://www.mypage.com/mypage2.php_id2=$var2

 

?

you could use $_GET instead of $_REQUEST but thats not too important

 

You should use sessions

 

but the basic idea is you start with session_start(); and then store sessions like this:

 

<?php

session_start();

$_SESSION['id'] = $_RQUEST['id1'];

?>

 

Then on whatever page you use session_start(); you will be able to call the id.

 

 

Thats a helf-arsed explanation, but i think it covers the general idea

I have say xxx.php?id=$amount on one page.

 

I am requesting that variable on another page by using <? echo $_REQUEST['id'] ?>.  Which works fine.

 

Now, I want to use the same variable onto a third page.  Assigning the request variable to a new variable does not work.

well it doesn't store $_GET vars($_REQUEST is a generalized call for GET, POST, SESSION)  You would need to either store it into a $_SESSION or replace it in the url again
