RE: [PHP-DB] Transfering post data to a series of pages.
After looking at what I wanted to do I see no good reason I can't do most of what we needed with function calls. The others can be handled with plugging more data into my session array. Somehow I thought this was a poor way of coding (I don't know why).

depending on what you want to do, here is an example of using functions in one page to make things happen http://www.weberdev.com/get_example-4085.html bastien From: Perry, Matthew (Fire Marshal's Office) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] Transfering post data to a series of pages.

I meant if there should even be a separate page for receiving the POST data. It will depend on how you have things setup, as to whether or not Page1 should POST to Page4 or just POST back onto itself. For e.g. 'detail' pages I tend to have POST to themselves, so you add an item in the page then it enters edit mode. Similarly with list pages, when modifying properties of a listed entity - e.g. activate, delete, share. It all depends on how you want things, but you will want at least 1 .php script, as opposed to if any :) cheers, -- - Martin Norland, Sys Admin / Database / Web Developer, International Outreach x3257 The opinion(s) contained within this email do not necessarily represent those of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You may also consider using sessions to store form data.. this allows for actual user interaction with the data, back/forward etc... as well as tracking and other stuff.. you really should only have Page1.php, and use a logic object to parse the data from there..
