[PHP] Passing Variables from Script to Script
What is the best way to pass a variable value from one script to another? In unix or dos all I would need to do would be to add them just after the name of the script such as myscript.bat thanks Alan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Passing Variables from Script to Script
PHP has those variables in $argv $argc tells you how many args there were. $argv[0] is the actual script name, eg, myscript.php On Sat, April 8, 2006 2:58 pm, Alan Schneider wrote: What is the best way to pass a variable value from one script to another?

[PHP] Passing variables from script to script
Hi folks, surely this question has already been answered many times before in this ng, but nevertheless: I want to pass variables from one .php to another .php script. But I do not want to use either the http://localhost/target.php?var1=testvar2=test2 nor the POST method. I would like to pass over general variables like usernames and passwords for several MySQL-connects; obviously it is not a good way to pass these vars via the mentioned ways. What else does PHP offer? Are there any other methods? Can I define these vars as some kind of global variables in any ini-file? THX for your support!

Re: [PHP] Passing variables from script to script
If they are static you could store them in another php file and include them. HTTP is stateless, meaning one person can go from one page to another or log out in between all of this. It also means there is no authentication for users, you can not prove that one person is the same person the next time he visits the page. Without using GET or POST. I would go with cookies. In fact, I would go with SESSIONS. http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php This way, only the session ID is stored as a cookie, and you can store the other variables on the server under $_SESSION['username'] and $_SESSION['password']. This may not be the perfect solution to your problem, but take a look. It's really useful. You have to run session_start(); before anything else, and it does it all via cookies(and sometimes through GET), but works very well in my experience. You may also want to look at: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php to control various aspects of PHP's sessions. I've found ini_set() with sessions to be invaluable.

Use includes. http://www.php.net/include
dbinfo.inc
?php
$host = 'localhost';
$user = 'foo';
$pass = 'bar';
...
?
showstuff.php
?php
include 'dbinfo.inc';
if (!$conn = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass)) {
...
?
Ideally this include will be outside the document root. If
not, make sure it's not viewable or use a php extension such
as .php See also the include_path php directive.
Regards,
Philip

Re: [PHP] Passing variables from script to script
1. the only other ways to pass things around would be in sessions, or by
setting a cookie on the user's computer... i hate the latter, and would
prefer the former, but would NEVER carry things like a MySQL uname and
password around in cookies or sessions. cookies, sessions, and even post
get (url) should be used for user-specific things (who are they, what are
they asking the server to do), not program-related things (like the database
password, or the global font size, or the site admin's email address... this
is generally done with a config file or other included file:
2. you could define your vars (like the MySQL uname and pword) in a config
file, and include it at the top of all your PHP scripts:
? include('incdir/config.php'); ?
html
...
/html
3. you can extend this further, by setting a value php.ini (auto-prepend I
think) so that PHP will ALLWAYS includes the config file at the top of every
script.
