Re: AW: [PHP] how can I CALL a PHP script from different TEXT LINKS with differentPARAMETERS?
That's right Curt, this is the reason I characterised sending parameters via url not safe! But in case of selecting data, I think there is no problem to send data via url, right? anyway, I found more simple using POST in any case because I have already used that and works, so I prefer POST... Thanks!

Another good reason to use POST to modify data, consider the link: http://example.com/posts.php?postid=1&action=delete If googlebot comes across your page containing a list of all your posts, with a link like that, you just might wake up one morning wondering why all your posts are gone.

Furthermore, if I use indivudual files It is a fallacy to ever tell someone that POST is safer than GET. They both transmit data in plaintext and it should not be assumed that either is inherently safer than the other, as this simply gives others a false sense of security. The difference between POST and GET lies in the semantics -- POST represents something changing on the server, e.g. updating a database field, and allows the browser to warn the user if they try to refresh. GET represents nothing of importance changing on the server, e.g. performing a search on the database, and can safely be repeated. SSL/TLS is the best option if you wish to transmit sensitive data. -- Jasper Bryant-Greene General Manager Album Limited +64 21 708 334 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] how can I CALL a PHP script from different TEXT LINKS with differentPARAMETERS?
Ahmed thanks for your comments,
the situation is that before calling "searchMember.php" or
"searchProduct.php" or other, I need to give to user an interface where
a message like "insert the Product/Member/Order Id", then when he
inserts and presses "find" the appropriate "searchSomething.php" page is
called, depending on what whe had selected to search for.
Of course I can make 3 individual pages ("SearchProductIsertId.php",
"SearchMemberInsertId.php", "SearchOrderInsertId.php"), where each page
will call another page (e.g "SearchOrderInsertId.php" ->
"SearchOrder.php"). This seems easier but if a change is needed in
"SearchSomethingInsertId.php", I'll have to change all the 3 previous
pages. Thus I thougt it would be better to make only one page for all
searches.
What is the common choice of experienced php devs in case of creating an
administrative interface for various tables (e.g. products, members,
orders etc)?
Thanks,

Re: AW: [PHP] how can I CALL a PHP script from different TEXT LINKS with differentPARAMETERS?
Webmaster, thanks very much but I think it would be safer to do that by
post, not by get. Furthermore, if I use indivudual files
("searchProductInsertId.php", "searchMemberInsertId.php"...), I think it
is easy: in each link of the menu I can type:
Search,
Search etc.
But, due to the fact that the html part of each SearchInsertId page
doesn't have many differences between various search pages (in first
case will show a message "type a productId to find" and will be
connected with "searchProduct.php", in second case will show a message
"type a memberId to find" and will be connected with "searchMember.php",
and so on), I thought to make a searchSomethingWithId page, where the
text and post php page will differentiate dependetly on what user had
clicked on menu. So I think that the problem I have, is what exactly
should be writen on each "Search", "Add" of menu so as to help the
searchSomethingWithId page to understand what "search" or "add" was
clicked, and secondly, what should be written on searchSomethingWithId
page so as to call the appropriate "search" or "add" php page.
I have some code about sessions and global values, I would preffer a
solution involving global values if it is safe. I used in past forms and
buttons to send information to php page but now I would like to use text
links instead of buttons.
I hope I helped you to understand and give me some help :)
Thaks a lot!

Hi,
i hope I got you right.
You can send data to the next php file by HTTP-GET.
Simply add a ? behind the link and then =.
Example ./jumpto.php?to=searchProduct
In the jumpto.php you would ask the Global Array for Get Variables for the
entry and then decide what to do.
Example:
sf($_GET["to"] == "searchProduct"){
header("Location: ./searchProduct.php");
}
Or if you have a lot of locations to jump to you could do that by case.
switch($_GET["to"]){
case "seachProduct":
header("Location: ./searchProduct.php");
break;
case "seachMember":
header("Location: ./searchMember.php");
break;
}
I hope that helped.
Greetings

Betreff: [PHP] how can I CALL a PHP script from different TEXT LINKS with
differentPARAMETERS?
Hi,
I'm not so keen on PHP (so on English :) ) and I have a little problem:
On the left side of the page there is the following menu:
PRODUCTS
Search
Add
MEMBERS
Search
Add
ORDERS
Search
Add
Is that possible to link each "Search", "Add" to a "Search.php" and
"Add.php" page and give a parameter to php script so as to make an "on
the fly" "searchProducts.php" or "AddProducts.php" or
"SearchMembers.php" etc?
If I make individual "searchProducts.php" or "AddProducts.php" files
these won't have many differences, so I Think it's better to make these
on the fly.
Any Idea?
Thanks in advance.
