PHP - Variable Passing Dynamically To Series Of Pages

Is it correct that in order to pass values from web page to web page that you either have to...

1.) Use a Cookie
2.) Use a Session
3.) Write/Read to a Database Record

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

$link = mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); 
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");

$query = $_REQUEST['SQLinput']; //You don't need a ; like you do in SQL
$result = mysql_query($query);
$numfields = mysql_num_fields($result);

login_sucess.php

<form action="" method="post"
   <label>
         <span>SQL Input :</span>
         <input type ="text" id="message" name="SQLinput" placeholder="Input SQL"></textarea>
     </label> 
	 <label>
         <span>SQL Output :</span>
         <output id="text" id="SQLoutput" ></input>	

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> 
			
		// handles the click event for link 1, sends the query
function getOutput() {
  getRequest(
      'sqlprocess.php', // URL for the PHP file
       drawOutput,  // handle successful request
       drawError    // handle error
  );
  return false;
}  
// handles drawing an error message
function drawError () {
    var container = document.getElementById('output');
    container.innerHTML = 'Bummer: there was an error!';
}
// handles the response, adds the html
function drawOutput(responseText) {
    var container = document.getElementById('output');
    container.innerHTML = responseText;
}
// helper function for cross-browser request object
function getRequest(url, success, error) {
    var req = false;
    try{
        // most browsers
        req = new XMLHttpRequest();
    } catch (e){
        // IE
        try{
            req = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
        } catch (e) {
            // try an older version
            try{
                req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
            } catch (e){
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
    if (!req) return false;
    if (typeof success != 'function') success = function () {};
    if (typeof error!= 'function') error = function () {};
    req.onreadystatechange = function(){
        if(req .readyState == 4){
            return req.status === 200 ? 
                success(req.responseText) : error(req.status)
            ;
        }
    }
    req.open("GET", url, true);
    req.send(null);
    return req;
}
</script>

<a href="#" onclick="return getOutput();"><button type="submit" id="search_btn" value="Submit">Submit</button> </a>
<div id="output">waiting for action</div>		

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!  

I have a script that was written and tested on another server, but now when I transferred it to the live server, session values are not being passed.  I made a couple test pages to check and confirmed that the only issue is the session variables.  Here is the test I performed.  Please tell me what I'm missing:

page1.php
<?
session_start();
$_SESSION['var1'] = 'testing';
print_r($_SESSION);
?>

Returns:
Array ( [var1] => testing )

page2.php
<?
session_start();
print_r($_SESSION);
?>
Returns:
Array ()

Hello all!
I cannot seem to figure out a way to pass an object from one page to another.  Now, my flow may be way off, and if it is, please do advise.
I want to have a form for username/password log in.
When the submit button is hit, it takes those values, finds the matching user in the database, and returns the user object.  We'll call him user_object
Now, I want to bring up another page, that allows user_object to enter in additional information (Event details).  After it does this, it writes those Event Objects into the database. 

My problem is: I need the ID Object attached to user_object while inserting the Event Objects into the database.
The user_object and Event Objects values are assigned from two separate forms and two separate submit buttons. 
How do I pass this information?

I don't want to use session because I have a lot of objects and do not want to serialize and unserialize all the time.  I also read that $_GET is a security risk. 

Thanks in advance for any help!

This is the basic logic of the code I am trying:
Code: [Select]
<html form whatevs post>
<php
object_one       
if (creds_match)
{
build_object from db
}
else "Wrong info, dude"
?></endhtml stuffs>
Code: [Select]
<html form whatevs post>
<php
object_two
if (post!empty)
{       
object_two = poststuff
}
assign object_two object_one's _id
insert object_two into db
?></endhtml stuff>
How do I keep the values assigned in section one, and send them or be able to use that same variable in section 2?

i am making a website and some part of which is to show user information...for this i had make a class and functions within it...one of the function is for retrieving values from database(im using mysql)...i know a variable is limited only in function,also tried $_session for this too..the function works fine ....but it is not sendind the information to the page from where im calling it...here is my code.....


in xyz.php file

<?php
class book{

public $v1;
public $v2;
public $v3;

   function book(){
   
   }
   
function page1(){

    $this->con=mysql_connect("localhost","root","usa");
   $this->db=mysql_select_db("truth",$this->con);
   
      }

   function page2($xyz){
   $this->page1();
     $query="SELECT * FROM member_signup WHERE Uid=$xyz";
     $result=mysql_query($query,$this->con);
    $result1=mysql_fetch_array($result);
    $_SESSION['info']=$result1;
    return $_SESSION['info'];
    return $result1;
   }
}?>

in show.php file

<?
require_once("xyz.php");

$pen = new book;

if($pen->page2(100011))
{ session_start();
 if (mysql_error())
       { print "Database ERROR: " . mysql_error(); }
 else{
 echo "cows";
 
   echo "<br>cows<br>";
   echo "my name is'".$_SESSION['info']."'";
   echo "my name is'".$_SESSION['FIRST_NAME']."'";  //i have a fied is db named FIRST_NAME
 

 }
}
else{echo "happy";}

Hi, so I have an easy problem that for some reason I couldn't find an answer to anywhere.

I have a bunch of variables like this:

$pic1fileName $pic2fileName $pic3fileName $pic4fileName $pic5fileName...you get the idea
So I have another variable I'm pulling from a database that specifies which number to show, so I need a variable something like this:

$pic($pic_number)fileName

I just don't know what the proper syntax is.  Anyone?  Thank you freaking much for any help; this is a lame problem.

Where is my "Progr" return value?   This is not my first day using php but I don't code in the language that often. I don't understand why my dynamic variable is not returned in AJAX GET? Essentially, I need to give the client a simple UI so that they can copy files to a printer and I wanted to provide a little unfiltered feedback so they knew whether operation was a success. My feedback was just going to be output of exec() function though cleaned up slightly (perhaps replace line breaks with html break tags). PHP version is 5.2.17.17 and cannot be upgraded. Web Server Apache.   PHP dumbed down code:   exec("LoadZPL_PURL.bat", $output);

I had an iframe working for the last few months on a site at hostgator.  Yesterday, it quit working (403 permissions error).  After a long bout of trouble-shooting, I found out that it has something to do with mod_security that they have suddenly enabled (have no idea as I'm not a Linux guy). 

They told me they fixed the problem on my domain by whitelisting it as an exception, but strangely, even though the permissions error went away, the actual src= box of the iframe, which was the url variable I was passing in the url, no longer loads. 

So.. I'm trying to break this down into the simplest form to figure it out.  I just understand php basics so needing some verification that I'm doing this right/wrong. 

Here's my code.. 

page1.php
Code: [Select]
<? $testurl = "http://google.com"; ?>
<a href="http://mysite.blah/page2.php?url=<? echo $testurl; ?>">page2.php</a>
page2.php
Code: [Select]
if (isset($_GET['testurl'])) echo $testurl;
else echo "sorry dude";
I am only able to print "sorry dude". 
Am I doing something wrong or shouldn't this send the url? 

Thanks for the help!

Hi,
I am trying to pass a variable when posting a form.

<select name="subcats" class="subcatsSelectMenu" id="subcats" onchange="this.form.submit()">
<option value="">Ver placas por tipos</option>
<?php
do {  
?>
<option value="<?php echo $row_subcats_RS['id_subcategoria']?>"><?php echo $row_subcats_RS['subcategoria_esp']?></option>
<?php
} while ($row_subcats_RS = mysql_fetch_assoc($subcats_RS));$rows = mysql_num_rows($subcats_RS);
  if($rows > 0) {
      mysql_data_seek($subcats_RS, 0);
  $row_subcats_RS = mysql_fetch_assoc($subcats_RS);
  }
?>
</select>
</form>How can I pass the variable in the URL?
Thanks

Trying to set up an error message when someone tries to upload a file without the approved .ext.
I have it working so it won't up load but I am trying to get an error to print out.

I was thinking that I could do something like this

if the ext are wrong set
$errorMsg1 == 1;
and then the page will refresh and I would pass that variable to echo out

if ($errorMsg1 == 1){
echo "Invalid"; }
else {

but it isn't passing can anyone help me with this? Tyring to keep it simple

this is the code to select an image

else{
 
  $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM photos WHERE userID LIKE '$clientID'");
  while ($r=mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
     $photo_1=$r['photo_1'];
     $photo_2=$r['photo_2'];
     $photo_3=$r['photo_3'];
     $photo_4=$r['photo_4'];
     $photo_5=$r['photo_5'];

   echo " 
    <form enctype='multipart/form-data' action='' method='POST'>
      <input type='hidden' name='MAX_FILE_SIZE' value='500000' />
      <div id='imageTop'>Image &#38;#35;1</div>
        ";
        if ($errorMsg1 == 1){
       echo "Invalid"; }
       echo "

       <div id='imageBottom'>
         <span class='image'>";
           if (empty($photo_1)) { 
            echo " <img src='uploads/noPhoto.gif' width='75' height='75' class='zip'> ";
              }
            else {
             echo "<a href='uploads/$photo_1' ><img src='uploads/$photo_1' width='75' height='75' class='zip'></a> ";

  if (isset($_POST['delete_1']))  {
    $query = "UPDATE photos SET photo_1='' WHERE userID='$clientID'";
    $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

The below script for some reason isn't passing along the product_id variable.

The above redirects to store.php?product=#review with no product id. Ideas on why?

Hi, can anybody please tell me how i can make "Arson" into a php variable

Code: [Select]

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

swfobject.embedSWF(
  "open-flash-chart.swf", "my_chart",
  "550", "400", "9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf",
  {"data-file":"ofc-chart.php?crime=Arson"} );
 
</script>
 

How, if possible, can a $var  be passed to the  forms action php file?

I tried everything with no success.
