[PHP] passing vars
need some help. Quite obviously I am new so bare with meI am trying to
pass a value (ENGLISH OR FRENCH) when the user clicks on either one of two
images. If image 1, the value is english, if image 2 the value is french.
Once they click the image which I use the following code (and it is probably
wacked) to call the assign( ) function, it should update the
$SESSION['Language'] variable but it does notYour help is really
appreciated Rick
**
pstrongWould you like to proceed in English or French?/strong/p
pstronga href=?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ? img
src=images/english.gif width=193 height=35 border=0 onClick=?php
assign(English); ? /a/strong/p

src=images/french.gif width=193 height=35 border=0 onClick=?php
assign(French); ? /a/strong/p
*
HERE IS AM CHECKING JUST TO SEE WHAT THE SESSION_LANGUAGE IS HOLDING...IT IS
ALWAYS FRENCH?
?php
print(pthe value is . $_SESSION['Language'] . /p\n);
?
?php
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['Count'])) // are we established?
{
if(isset($_SESSION['Language']))
{
//header(Location: http://www.blah blah blah);
}
else
{

Re: [PHP] Passing vars w/refresh w/register globals off?
Well first off all it is possible to post and get at the same time. Dont know why you want to, but its kinda easy really : Example : form name=myform action=myscript.php?get1=aget2=b method=post input type=hidden name=jalla value=balla /form You can submit this form several ways, with ordinary submit button, or with javascrip submit. If you really want to keep serving variables that shouldnt be visble in the browser or in the html kode I guess the only way would be using cookies. But if the variables are defined by the users input / behavior there is surely the need of showing the variables one place or another. You mentioned that there were up to a 100 variables to be passed here. Was that pr user or in total? Sending like a 100 variables with GET would be a bad idea all together, since there are limits on how many caracters the URL can hold. Some years ago alot of browsers had a limit on 128 characters, this is imporved by the years but still the only way to feed long sets of data is through post. If all your variables can be stored on the server, assigning a unique ID to the session would make you able to store everything in the database as someone mentioned earlier. This wasy all you need is pass the ID within the browser. By checking the ID against the unique session on the server you will also eliminate tampering with the data. Webpages that has like a 100 hidden fields doesnt look very professional, but hey - it works. The other thing is that forms can also talk with eachother nicely, what I mean is that you can share the informastion with the help of javascript. Storing all the information you need for later in a form somewhere in the html page, then when you build the refresh url you just pick out the data you want to use from the different form elements (document.form.variable.value). I still havnt quite understood what you are accually asking for here, but hey, it seems like you dont know yourself, hehe -- Kim Steinhaug --- There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary numbers: those who understand them, and those who don't. --- Floyd Baker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Fri, 18 Jan 2002 18:13:50 +0800, you wrote: On Friday 18 January 2002 04:11, Floyd Baker wrote: Yes. I was using the url to pass variables without a form. It looks like the javascript idea would cover that now that you remind me. I've used it before to refresh two frames at once. But even so I'd rather not go that way if at all possible. I'd like to stay within php's ability. Not being able to POST and GET is a 'limitation' of HTTP not PHP. Not knowing what I'm talking about for sure but is there no way of putting a variable into the 'post' status or condition, prior to being redirected, without actually using a form? Only be using a form will you be able to POST. Thanks for the idea though. It'll work if nothing else. :-) Up to now we (I?) still don't know exactly what you're trying to do.

Filling out a form and using a recursive call and if/then, to bring the variables around to a case switch for routing to desired pages according to form input data. if 'completed = y ( switch case get to go here case get go there ) else ( post to /this page form submit ) This draft does work but I don't like the visible url variables. Of course in addition we have all the fields passed by the form post that were used as required on switch case and receiving pages... Now we need to REQUEST every one. That's fine for the sake of the security but now it's beneficial to get into arrays, etc. to keep script shorter and easier to maintain. More learning. Always good. 4.1 is pushing me. :-) The solutions look more involved than my poor coding has been til now. We need to put more things into function form maybe, instead of passing between separate pages. I'm probably still out in left field with a lot of this *visualizing* but it's coming. And always good to talk it out. Can you tell me if it's possible to run 4.03 and 4.1 *both* on the same machine? I'm thinking the old script would be php3 and the new stuff php4. Is that something that could be done until the old scripts are upgraded? Floyd -- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] passing vars. betn. php and javascript
This sounds susspiciously like a Javascript question to me. :) I wrote a PHP/Javascript system a while back that prints out an event calendar on a client page. The Javascript is copypaste so you can have the calendar show up on any web page anywhere in the world. It works like this.. The Javascript on the client's page redirects to the PHP script on my server with display_dates and clientid in the URL string. Then the PHP script parses $_GET and extracts the requested data from the database. Then the PHP script does a redirect back to the originating Javascript (known by $HTTP_REFERER) with the compressed data (again in the URL string). The Javascript does some simple parsing and generates the calendar table based on the extracted values. This sounds a lot like what you want to do. But how you parse the data in Javascript is obviously not a PHP question. Are you're certain this reordering isn't something that can be done in PHP?

Re: [PHP] passing vars. betn. php and javascript
Okay I'm beginning to understand. I don't think you have to use Javascript
in this situation you jsut have to be a little clever about how you build
your URL string. You can send an array through the URL by splitting up each
value like this..
$url = 'http://www.domain.com/index.php?myarray[]='.$myarray[0];
for ($i=1; $icount($myarray); $i++)
{
$url .= 'myarray[]='.$myarray[$i];
}
header(Location: $url);
You will get $_GET[myarray] on the other side. OR you can do a single comma
or semicolon delimited string and then explode(',' $myarray) on the other
end to reconstitue the array. Hope that helps.

If your arrays are not huge, why can you not simply use the GET method?
$array = array('mutant', 'zombie', 'psychic');
$temp_array = array();
foreach ($array as $freak) {
$temparray[] = 'freaks[]=' . $freak;
}
$headerstring = implode('', $temparray);
header('Location: http://www.domain.com/page.php?' . $headerstring);
The above code creates a querystring that should look like
freaks[]=mutantfreaks[]=zombiefreaks[]=psychic
Then, in your receiving PHP page, just do something like
foreach ($_GET['freaks'] as $freak) {
print $freak;
}
Or whatever processing you need to do.

Well, depending on how you were reordering the array I was going to
suggest
you use php. Since you already have a version in php and you want to do
it
in
javascript then ...
I've never written javascript? Thanks,
I suggest you learn some javascript then think about how to pass an
array
to it from php :)

Filling out a form and using a recursive call and if/then, to bring the variables around to a case switch for routing to desired pages according to form input data. if 'completed = y ( switch case get to go here case get go there ) else ( post to /this page form submit ) This draft does work but I don't like the visible url variables. Of course in addition we have all the fields passed by the form post that were used as required on switch case and receiving pages... Now we need to REQUEST every one. That's fine for the sake of the security but now it's beneficial to get into arrays, etc. to keep script shorter and easier to maintain. More learning. Always good. 4.1 is pushing me. :-) The solutions look more involved than my poor coding has been til now. We need to put more things into function form maybe, instead of passing between separate pages. I'm probably still out in left field with a lot of this *visualizing* but it's coming. And always good to talk it out. Can you tell me if it's possible to run 4.03 and 4.1 *both* on the same machine? I'm thinking the old script would be php3 and the new stuff php4. Is that something that could be done until the old scripts are upgraded?

[PHP] Passing vars...
Small problem... I used to have a single file that included others based on some variables set. However, I've decided instead of including a different file, I would set a location header and redirect the browser to the (once included) file instead. Problem is, now my variables aren't being passed from one page to the other now. My index.php file sets the following in a form: // variables passed // $email[to] - who the mail is send to // $email[from] - from who the mail came it // $name[to]- the name of the person who will get the mail // $name[from] - the name of the person who send the mail // $picture - the full picture-url // $comment - comment // $session[ID] - a simple sessionID // $album - album in catalog // $startitem - page (item) in album ...and I need those variables passed on to the file to which I'm redirecting to.

echo(' pLogin/pinput type=text name=login size=10');

this will ensure that the variable is a POST var vs a GET var too...

Hi,
I'm struggling to pass from 3 functions (and one of them have a html form
POST) one simple variable called $login.
Once in the function (that have form with POST) is calling a php3 without
passing the $login (like: common.php3login='someone') and since the next
function doesn't have any relation with this one (doesn't receive any value
by return) but requires the same variable ($login).
My question and great doubt is:
How can I share $login in several functions... without use or change
(because I don't have access) the PHP configuration environment...
I believe that this could be solve with register_globals var but I don't
know how to do it.

Re: [PHP] Passing vars
You may wish to consider why you need to pass 30 lines of code in a
variable.
If the code is static, store it in include files and then pass it in
depending one a variable
if ($variable=1)
{ include(your30linefile);
}
else
{ inclue(someotherfile);
}
or to use a database query, pass a select value in as the index:
$sql = "select some_field from table where id_field = $variable
either way, you pass the value of $variable in from a page with this kind of
link:
a href="page_name.php?variable=1"click me to submit $varible=1 to
page_name.php/a
If the 30 lines of code is html that needs to be generated on the fly, break
it up into common blocks and drop them in using either method above.
You can also do things like passing a hidden form field instead of using a
link.
Best regards,
Andrew

I would like to avoid doing something like test.php?cheese=(30 lines of stuff) Thanks in advance! -Tanya -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
