oceans Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Dear People, I am posting a form onto itself to verify input entry, I can get the value of text box and combo box, but how can I get the value of a “variable” (don’t use cookie or session)? That is if I use if ($_POST["$Variable"]!=1){} Thanks. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/58182-solved-post-a-variable-to-the-same-page/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

no_one Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Not sure if I totally understand what you need, but you could use a hidden field in the form: <form> <input type='hidden' name='variable' value='some_value'> </form> Is this what you need?

oceans Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 I did this, to do somthing on the first run of the page, than on the second run do somthing else. I was hasty with my earlier reply, the idea works, but the the process goes to if ($_POST["Flag"]==1) on the third run not the second. any possible reason. you want my modified code?

teng84 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 look this must be already set echo $_POST["Local_session_id"]; because thats where the hidden fields rely so the problem is i guess not on that page its on the page where you get this echo $_POST["Local_session_id"]; is there a form name Local_session_id then thats causing trouble Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/58182-solved-post-a-variable-to-the-same-page/#findComment-294907 Share on other sites More sharing options...
