[PHP] Using POST to pass variables
When I have more than one button on a page, I us what I call a reentrant
approach. That is the page calls itself.
If the page is emailer.pgp, the the FORM tag would be
form method=get action=emailer.php
At the top is
?php
$send= $_GET[btnSend]; // Send button pressed
$cancel = $_GET[btnCancel];// Cancel is pressed
$message = $_GET[message];
if ($send) {
header(location: send.php?message= . $message);
}
if ($cancel) {
header(location: index.php);
}
?
Is there a better way to do this so I can use a POST form?
Thank you...
Todd

Re: [PHP] Using Post like Get
Since you are on the same server, I hope you mean the same domain. If not the session variable wouldnt work very well. But if you infact are on the same domain, you should look into the session variable and store everything you need. From what I know there are now limits on how much you can store in a session, that said I wouldt pump several megabytes into it... Several good answers here, but it looks like most of us agree on the session. Cookies can ofcourse also be used, but this also means that you require all your clients to have them enabled. Anyways, even when using cookies I always use session as the main system - cookies only works as a saved session in my systems. (Meaning, instead of having to logg onto the system again, the username and passowrd are stored in a cookie, this way the user can choose the famous remember me setting many of us enjoy). -- Kim Steinhaug - There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary numbers: those who understand them, and those who don't. - www.steinhaug.com - www.easywebshop.no - www.easycms.no www.webkitpro.com - Dennis Gearon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] What I'm trying to achieve is to have the same cookie IDENTIFY a user on different (or same) applications (on the same server), but require them to log in for each application, and get a different session..

Why not just keep an acl list of which applications a particular session is logged in for? What I mean is you have your sessions table. You know they are logged in. User foo: logged into app a User foo: Goes to app b App b recognizes the name of the cookie and checks the value against the session table. If true -- User foo: is recognized but requested to log in When User foo logs in, the auth table is updated to reflect that they are not authenticated against a different part of the site.

Your question is not very clear but here goes: Post usually means the data is in the body of the message. In other words after sending the request headers you need to write the data for the 'payload' which may be your variables if you are using www/url-encoded but can be any content type you want it to be. THis is not something that you can do with javascript because you do not get direct access to the streams with javascript. -- Raditha Dissanayake. http://www.radinks.com/sftp/ | http://www.raditha.com/megaupload Lean and mean Secure FTP applet with | Mega Upload - PHP file uploader Graphical User Inteface.

What you need then is PHP session management stuff - it's very unlikely that you will need to tincker with the protocol.

[PHP] using POST
Hi guys, I have assembled an XML file, encrypted it and now ready to pass it to an outside server. $encryptedXML file contains encrypted value of an XML file How can I send the XML-(URL encoded) within the HTTPS-POST. The reason for sending the cleartext XML URL encoded is to allow for the special characters such as '' and '' to be sent across the HTTP protocol. $msgToBePosted = EOD htmlheadtitlePost/title/head form method='POST' action='https://alpha.server.com/test/DeliverReg/default.asp' input type=hidden name=PARAMS value=$encryptedXMLFile /form/body/html EOD; Do you know how can I POST the above $msgToBePosted? Basically, I want to pass the above form to the https://alpha.server.com/test/DeliverReg/default.asp, the value must be hidden, having name=PARAMS and value=$encryptedXMLFile Thank you, Leon --- Leon Zilber HP Internet Operation RD Lab phone: 973.443.78.82 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Using post method thru php-script
$fp = fsockopen('secure.aaa.com',443,$err_num,$err_msg);
Talking to an SSL server on port 443 is a bit more complicated than chatting
up an HTTP server on port 80.
You have to pre-negotiate your encryption algorithms and send some public
keys back and forth to generate some more public/private key-pairs and...
While DIY is tons of fun, with a deadline of the 27th looming, I'd look into
using cURL.
Search the archives for URLs and further info on cURL. Last I heard,
somebody was gonna integrate cURL direct into PHP, but I've been out of it
for awhile.
Oh yeah: I'm back! :-)

[PHP] Using post method thru php-script
Hi,
I am developing a shopping-cart application and i need to
authorize the credit-card no. of the customer.
I need to use a post method thru my php-script a replica
of which I am giving below:
Script Start:
// Build the request string
$request.='cardnum='.urlencode();
$request.='address='.urlencode(99 xyz);
$request.='zipcode='.urlencode(96004);
$request.='amount='.urlencode(2.00);
// Build the header
$header=POST /cgi-bin/xyz.exe HTTPS/1.0\r\n;
$header.=Host: secure.aaa.com\n. User-Agent: PostIt\r\n;
$header.=Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n;
$header.=Content-length: .strlen($request).\r\n\r\n;
// Open the connection
$fp = fsockopen('secure.aaa.com',443,$err_num,$err_msg);
$i=0;
if ($fp)
{
// Send everything
fputs($fp,$header.$request);
// Get the response
$response=I am in;
while (!feof($fp))
{
$response.=fgets($fp,128);
$i++;
}
fclose($fp);
}
else
$response=Dead;
?
html
head
titleResponse from aaa.com/title
/head
body bgcolor=#FF
p
? echo Response from aaa: .$response; ?
? echo brNo. of loops: .$i; ?
? echo brError no: .$err_num. Error Message: .$err_msg; ?
/p
/body
/html
Script End.
In the above code I am posting my form data to
https://secure.aaa.com/cgi-bin/xyz.exe which
processes the credit card and returns some
string values showing whether the credit-card
is valid or not.
My question is that whether the method I'm
using is correct to post data to secure servers.
Well my code runs on a normal server ie. non-
secure.
My code is able to connect to the secure
server i.e fsockopen works but i do not get
any response from the server.
Well you can judge this by the result I am
getting on my browser.
The result I am getting on browser is:
Response from aaa: I am in
No. of loops: 1
Error no: 0 Error Message:
So am i doing anything wrong somewhere or is
there some other way to do this thing.
Please help asap. I need to finish this stuff by 27th
of this month.
regards
George
