There is probably a better way but what I do is create hidden fields in the form of the first page and populate it with the variable I need to go on to the next one. Ie for variable a, b, c, d coming to the first page...
<form name=sendit action=nextwebpage method=post> [Do something with some or all of those variables here] echo "<input type=hidden name=a value=$a>"; echo "<input type=hidden name=b value=$b>"; echo "<input type=hidden name=c value=$c>"; echo "<input type=hidden name=d value=$d>"; echo "<input type=submit value=\"Next Page\"> echo "</form> That is what I usually do because I don't know of a better way. So if you don't find one you can always resort to that. And if you need these to move on automatically by telling another frame window what the variables are while this one is still visible, you can use javascript to send variables to other frames. That is out of the scope of this message and I'd have to look up the syntax for that, but it is definitely possible. Larry S. Brown Dimension Networks, Inc. (727) 723-8388 -----Original Message----- From: David Barrett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2003 9:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Forwarding POST info from a PHP script I want to be able to retrieve POST variable in one PHP script (which is straight-forward) and then send these from the script to another one returning the processed input. I have written a script that will parse a frames-based page and render it as a flat page (i.e. all frames displayed as a table in one HTML file) - this is so that I can create a website using frames, and still let browsers that don't support frames to access it without my having to create a separate version of the site. e.g.: http://www.redradish.co.uk/rr/index.htm (frames based site) http://www.redradish.co.uk/php/framesprocessor.php?Frameset=http://www.redra dish.net/rr/index.htm&RenderMethod=1&MainFrame=main&AllHead=1 (the same site rendered as single page). The problem is that if in the frames-based site one of the frames is a form submission, I need to be able to send this data to the original form and retrieve the output to display in the rendered page. e.g. http://www.redradish.co.uk/php/framesprocessor.php?Frameset=http://www.redra dish.net/rr/index.htm&TargetName=main&Target=http://www.redradish.net/rr/con tact/contactF.htm&MainFrame=main&RenderMethod=1&LinkSearch=1&AllHead=1&Debug =1 (this is a page that has a contact form). I can't find any information on how to forward such a request. The script in question is located at: http://www.redradish.co.uk/php/framesprocessor.php It uses these variables (passed using GET or POST): Frameset frameset page. This needs to be parsed and a static HTML page created. Target (optional) full URL of page to be displayed in frmae named TargetName. TargetName (optional) name of the frame that $Target should appear in. MainFrame (optional) is the frame from which header info, etc. is taken. Default is first frame. AllHead (optional) If set (is 1 or more), copies <HEAD> content from all frames. RenderMethod (optional) defines how the frameset is to be represented: 1 - All frames dumped into new page in order they appear in frameset. 2 - tables are used to attempt to recreate original format Default is 1. LinkSearch (optional) how links are replaced: 1 - Only specific tags are replaced 2 - Anything within quotes (' or ") that contains document path is replaced Default is 1. Debug If set (greater than 0), debug info is added in comments. It works to a good degree on most frames-based sites, but does have a couple of failings (such as the one mentioned) that I would like to overcome. The other problem is handling JavaScript in e.g. <frame src="JavaScript:openpage(xx)">. There is no way to process JavaScript in PHP that I am aware of - does anyone have a workaround for this? i.e. so that my script can process the JavaScript function and retrieve the relevant page for inclusion in the rendered page. Hope someone can help! Thanks.
