RE: [PHP] combining variables...

[Vishal Patel]

You could dynamically generate variable names using:

${view_request_}.$i} = $value;

This will generate:
$view_request_1
$view_request_2
...

Simply put, can I connect 2 variables, to make one...

I want to output:
$view_request_$i

making for example a string:
view_all_2

But I'm getting errors..?
Parse error: parse error in /home/risk/public_html/download/results3.php 
on line 675

is there a simple explination...?

RE: [PHP] Passing form values to PHP

[Vishal Patel]

Try this:

extract($_POST);

extract --  Import variables into the current symbol table from an array

All of my forms have worked without $_POST or $_GET. Is there a reason for
inavailability of variables???

Its a good practice to use $_POST for security reasons.

Subject: [PHP] Passing form values to PHP


Hey every, I'm new to the group and to PHP (3 days now) and I would like to
ask a question. I purchased a book on PHP a day or so ago and as I'm going
through the book it comes to a point where it talks about passing html form
values to PHP. So I type up the examples from the book, both the html file
and the PHP file and I run it and I don't get anything when the PHP file is
accessed. H puzzling! I don't get any errors at all, but the values just
aren't coming across.

The book says that I should be able to take the name=xyz value from the
HTML form and just use it as a regular variable ($xyz) in the PHP file. But
this doesn't work.

After much digging on web pages and through email lists I found reference to
something called the $_POST variable. This seems to be the only way that I
can make the PHP file use the name=xyz values from the HTML file. So in
the PHP file I would have to use the variable $_POST[xyz] to get the form
value returned.

Anyone have any ideas as to what's up. I hope its just something silly that
I'm missing being a newby to PHP and all.

I will include small versions of the file here for reference:

HTML FILE
-

htmlbody
form action=x.php method=post
Please enter your name:
input type=text name=xyz
input type=submit value=submit
/form
/body/html


PHP FILE (Doesn't Work)
-
htmlbody
?php
echo(The value of name is $xyz);
?
/body/html


PHP FILE (Does Work)
-
htmlbody
?php
echo(The value of name is $_POST[xyz]);
?
/body/html

So I guess my question ultimately is, what are the different ways in which
form data can be passed to a PHP script?

Thanks you,

Jessica
