Subject: [PHP] Help for passing variable to all pages
Hi All,
I am new to PHP and learning as I go by reading many of the tutorials
around. I have however come up against a problem that I can't seem to solve
of find any other references to.
I need to make some information available to every page and one of the
series of articles by Kevin Yank which talks about PHP and MySql seemed to
suggest how to do exactly what I wanted but I can't get it to work. His
suggestion was to do something like
A HREF=newpage.php?name=?php echo($myvar); ? A link /A
I think my problem is in the ...A LINK.. bit - what exactly should go here?
I tried some code to see if it worked and this is what I did:
in login.html
html
head
titleDMS Login/title
?php
$dbcnx=@mysql_connect(localhost,DMS,);
echo ( P Connection established on $dbcnx/P);
if (!$dbcnx) {
echo( PUnable to connect to MySql Server at this time./P};
exit();
}
if (! @mysql_connect_db(DMS, $dbcnx) ) {
echo( PUnable to connect to DMS database at this time./P};
exit();
}
?
a href=welcome.php3?dbcnxid=?php echo($dbcnx); ?test link/a
FORM ACTION=welcome.php3 METHOD=GET
First name: INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=firstnameBR
Last Name: INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=lastname
INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE=GO
/FORM
br
br
In the welcome.php3 file I have
HTML
HEAD
TITLEToday's Date/TITLE
/HEAD
BODY
PToday's date (according to this server)
?php
echo( date(l, F dS Y.) );
echo (Welcome to our web site $firstname $lastname $dbcnxid );
echo ( $dbcnxid);
echo ( $QUERY_STRING);
?
/BODY
/HTML
What I get is on login page - the texttest linkin blue (i.e. a
link?) and the login prompts.
On the welcome page I get the firstname and lastname ok, but the other
parameter is not in the $QUERY_STRING
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?
Maybe there is a better way to have some information, that will be retrieved
from the DB available to all pages in the session. We are not actually
going to have all the users with logins to the DB - but have our own
internal table of users, password and rights information, thus the userid
form this table needs to be available to all pages.
Many Thanks in advance for your help

RE: [PHP] Help for passing variable to all pages
Thanks for the suggestion but it made no difference!
I am still getting nothing through
I think its something to do with the test link bit - what actually should
go in here - how does it relate this to all links?

RE: [PHP] Help for passing variable to all pages
Create a new page with just the following in it
?php echo Running PHP; ?
if you then load that page through your server and you don't see the just
the words, then your server isn't executing your script...
If it's not going through php, specify your OS, and server type and someone
here should be able to help you.

a href=welcome.php3?dbcnxid=?php echo($dbcnx); ?test
link/a
looks like you were missing the end quotes and closing bracket of the
anchor tag
See how that goes

Subject: [PHP] Help for passing variable to all pages
Hi All,
I am new to PHP and learning as I go by reading many of the tutorials
around. I have however come up against a problem that I can't seem to solve
of find any other references to.
I need to make some information available to every page and one of the
series of articles by Kevin Yank which talks about PHP and MySql seemed to
suggest how to do exactly what I wanted but I can't get it to work. His
suggestion was to do something like
A HREF=newpage.php?name=?php echo($myvar); ? A link /A
I think my problem is in the ...A LINK.. bit - what exactly should go here?
I tried some code to see if it worked and this is what I did:
in login.html
html
head
titleDMS Login/title
?php
$dbcnx=@mysql_connect(localhost,DMS,);
echo ( P Connection established on $dbcnx/P);
if (!$dbcnx) {
echo( PUnable to connect to MySql Server at this time./P};
exit();
}
if (! @mysql_connect_db(DMS, $dbcnx) ) {
echo( PUnable to connect to DMS database at this time./P};
exit();
}
?
a href=welcome.php3?dbcnxid=?php echo($dbcnx); ?test link/a
FORM ACTION=welcome.php3 METHOD=GET
First name: INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=firstnameBR
Last Name: INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=lastname
INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE=GO
/FORM
br
br
In the welcome.php3 file I have
HTML
HEAD
TITLEToday's Date/TITLE
/HEAD
BODY
PToday's date (according to this server)
?php
echo( date(l, F dS Y.) );
echo (Welcome to our web site $firstname $lastname $dbcnxid );
echo ( $dbcnxid);
echo ( $QUERY_STRING);
?
/BODY
/HTML
What I get is on login page - the texttest linkin blue (i.e. a
link?) and the login prompts.
On the welcome page I get the firstname and lastname ok, but the other
parameter is not in the $QUERY_STRING
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?
Maybe there is a better way to have some information, that will be retrieved
from the DB available to all pages in the session. We are not actually
going to have all the users with logins to the DB - but have our own
internal table of users, password and rights information, thus the userid
form this table needs to be available to all pages.
Many Thanks in advance for your help
