[PHP] Transfer variable to next web-page

2001-11-17 Thread Olav Drageset 

I just started..

How do you transfer a variable from one web-page to another
I try to use a form like this:
?
echo(P 
FORM method='POST' action='join2.php'
text for button
INPUT type='submit' value='Next step'
INPUT type='hidden' name='htmlVariableName' value='$phpVariableName'
/FORM
);
?

and catch it injoin2.phpby:

$phpVariableName=htmlVariableName;

echo$phpVariableName;

This do not work.
Can anyone tel me what should be done
Neither books, php-manual nor HTML-specification does tel me.

Use

 $phpVariableName = $htmlVariableName;

Remember to use the $ in front of the variable that you toss from the HTML 
form.

Richard already answered the variable part, but I thought I'd point out
that you need to use double quotes in your HTML tags... Single quotes
are incorrect...

?
echo(P 
FORM method=\POST\ action=\join2.php\
text for button
INPUT type=\submit\ value=\Next step\
INPUT type=\hidden\ name=\htmlVariableName\
value=\$phpVariableName\
/FORM
);
?

Or...

?
echo('P 
FORM method=POST action=join2.php
text for button
INPUT type=submit value=Next step
INPUT type=hidden name=htmlVariableName value='. $phpVariableName
.'
/FORM
);
?

Or... Better yet, why not just:

P
FORM method=POST action=join2.php
text for button
INPUT type=submit value=Next step
INPUT type=hidden name=htmlVariableName
value=?=$phpVariableName?
/FORM


See the PHP manual for escaping HTML and string literals if you're
confused by any of this..
