PHP - Trouble Passing Variables

I'm creating this URL to pass variables to use from one Page to another:   http://eg10basketbal...Borgman&team=16     My WP site is seeing the first variable but not the second.  After some searching I've found this suggestion, but it's not working for me:

function add_query_vars_filter( $vars ) {

	$vars[] = "nameFull";
	$vars[] = "team";

	return $vars;
}
add_filter( 'query_vars', 'add_query_vars_filter' );

I tried putting this in the wp-includes/functions.php file of the, but ended up with a fatal error.  I have since added it to my theme's functions.php file. There isn't an error, but it doesn't yield recognition of my second variable.     

Hi,
I'm trying to pass a variable into a URL and apparently I'm doing it wrong

this code is OK
Code: [Select]
$id = $3;
echo '<a href="newPage.php?id=3"></a>
If I use
Code: [Select]
$id = $_GET['id'];
echo $id;
on the newPage.php, I echo 3
whereas, if I do
Code: [Select]
$id = $3;
echo '<a href="newPage.php?id="'.$id.'"></a>
when echo out on the newPage.php it prints out nothing
also, in current url look like this:
Code: [Select]
www.site.com/newPage.php?id=

What am I doing wrong? 

Many thanks

I normally don't work with PHP or rather I'm learning as I go..and this is pretty much my last barrier between completing this project. Anyway here are my two files:

http://pastebin.com/aThU3akC - file i want to grab values from and pass to the file below
http://pastebin.com/kTYHr99p - file that is suppose to display the values in $transmessage

Basically I need the variables defined in the first file to be passed and usable in the second and I'm not sure why I can't

Hi First post here. Long time reader!

I'm looking to gauge the general practices of dealing with variables between pages.

I'd always pass my variables through the POST. Im normally always doing a post back and processing the data at the top of the page.

 I never liked the query string as it open to manipulation, but can see its use for a search results page and saving the url.

I came from a ASP background and we would only use session variables for holding user login information as the windows server had a habit of restarting the pool and loosing the session. We didn't want this happening, for example, when doing an e-commerce transaction.  We always felt the post was the most robust method.

Now Im using php and all the great features it has. I was looking to see what the more experience php developers used and am I right sticking to the post method, or is utilising session a more modern way of doing things.

I've a few years experience doing web dev, just thought I touch base on a few issues to make sure I'm still heading in the right direction.

Thanks for any advice guys!

I have some function or method.  Is there a better design patter to implement this?

function myFunction($a=null,$b=null,$c=null,$d=null,$e=null,$f=null,$g=null,$h=null)
{
   //Do a bunch of stuff
}

Maybe the second function?

function myNewFunction($data=array())
{
   $data=array_merge(array('a'=>null,'b'=>null,'c'=>null,'d'=>null,'e'=>null,'f'=>null,'g'=>null,'h'=>null),$array);
   //Do a bunch of stuff
}

Please provide decision making factors why you would use one approach over the other.

The below works for ?rma=non-returned and &year=$year, however once it's get down to month it doesn't work. Everything seems to be in the proper brackets, but it's still not working. It goes to a blank page when month=$month is added to the URL. The URL looks like this : ?rma=calander&year=2011&month=5
Code: [Select]
elseif($_GET['rma']=="calender"){
$sql101010="SELECT DISTINCT rma_year_issued FROM $tbl_name4 WHERE rma_issued='y' ORDER BY rma_year_issued";
$result101010=mysql_query($sql101010);
while($row101010=mysql_fetch_array($result101010)){
extract($row101010);
$content.='<a href="./acp_admincp.php?rma=calender&year='.$rma_year_issued.'">'.$rma_year_issued.'</a>
<br />';
}

if(isset($_GET['year'])){
$content="";
$logout.=' | <a href="./acp_admincp.php?rma=calender">Back to RMA Calender</a>';
$rma_year_issued=$_GET['year'];
$sql111010="SELECT DISTINCT rma_month_issued FROM $tbl_name4 WHERE rma_year_issued='$rma_year_issued' ORDER BY rma_month_issued";
$result111010=mysql_query($sql111010);
while($row111010=mysql_fetch_array($result111010)){
extract($row111010);
if($rma_month_issued=="1"){$rma_month_issued2="January";}
if($rma_month_issued=="2"){$rma_month_issued2="February";}
if($rma_month_issued=="3"){$rma_month_issued2="March";}
if($rma_month_issued=="4"){$rma_month_issued2="April";}
if($rma_month_issued=="5"){$rma_month_issued2="May";}
if($rma_month_issued=="6"){$rma_month_issued2="June";}
if($rma_month_issued=="7"){$rma_month_issued2="July";}
if($rma_month_issued=="8"){$rma_month_issued2="August";}
if($rma_month_issued=="9"){$rma_month_issued2="September";}
if($rma_month_issued=="10"){$rma_month_issued2="October";}
if($rma_month_issued=="11"){$rma_month_issued2="November";}
if($rma_month_issued=="12"){$rma_month_issued2="December";}
$content.='<a href="./acp_admincp.php?rma=calander&year='.$rma_year_issued.'&month='.$rma_month_issued.'">'.$rma_month_issued2.'</a>
<br />';
}
if(isset($_GET['month'])){
$content="";
$logout.=' | <a href="./acp_admincp.php?rma=calender&year='.$rma_year_issued.'">Back to RMA Calender Year</a>';
$rma_month_issued=$_GET['month'];
$sql211010="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name4 WHERE rma_year_issued='$rma_year_issued' AND rma_month_issued='$rma_month_issued' ORDER BY rma_date_issued";
$result211010=mysql_query($sql211010);
while($row211010=mysql_fetch_array($result211010)){
$content.='<a href="./acp_admincp.php?rma=calander&year='.$rma_year_issued.'&month='.$rma_month_issued.'&id='.$rma_id.'">'.$rma_number.'</a>
<br />';
}
}
}
}

The issue maybe the AND in the SQL query... however I need to be sure that the data pulled is of that specific month and that specific year. Not one or the other.

Having some problems with PHP session i currently use cookies to log users in, but i have decided to use php session instead but i can get it to work, it simply dose not pass the variables unless include session id in every single link on my website,

can anyone tell me where i am going wrong


these are the session setting from php.in


 session.use_cookies = 1
session.use_only_cookies = 0
session.name = usersesid
session.auto_start = 1
session.cookie_lifetime = 0
session.referer_check = 1
session.cache_expire = 180
session.use_trans_sid = 1
 

Right, so I've made a very simple web app that allows....

1.) People to register (adding them to the MySQL database)
2.) Login (providing they're in the database)

I've gotten it all working, but I'm stuck at the last hurdle. If someone logs in using the correct username and password, it takes them to login_success.php. Here I query the database and use "SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Username = '$name'"

I would have thought, that it would have returned that user's entry in the database. But instead I just get a blank page.

Am I right in thinking that's because the contents of the $name variable aren't passed from log.php to login_success.php

If so, how do I fix it?

I have created a PHP form which includes validation, however.. everytime  the validation passes, php redirects the form to another page where mysql code is to insert the variables... for some reason the variables are not being sent at all.

Any suggestions.

 Ok, well basically i'm not sure if this can be done or not.  Basically I have a IM type bar for my website similar to facebook.  It's from CometChat.com.  Anyway the place to edit the links to all the modules for the bar are done in the config.php file.  What I'm trying to do is put a link for users to click to go directly to their profile on the site.  To do this i get the user's ID, and reference it to the mysql database, get the nickname, pass it to a varaiable and plug the variable into the url in the config file.  The problem I'm having is when I run ANY mysql commands in the config file it kills the CometChat script from showing at all on the site.  I'm not sure why since the whole config file is in php... so i don't see how mysql statements would keep the script from showing.  Another Idea I thought about was running the mysql statements in another php file and somehow get that variable from a php code in the config.php file.. but i'm not really sure what code will run the mysql file and return the variable i need.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to use PHP variables in a jQuery file that is including in the header of the file? If so, how?

Hi there,   I want to pass a input variable from login_success.php which will be sent to sqlprocess.php as the variable 'SQLinput';   sqlprocess.php

Prior to the JS code - I was able to peform this action - however the JS code enables me to post the query onto the same page. I would like essentially like to query the database through an input box and output the same result on the same page.   Thanks!
