[PHP] Trying to pass a variable through a form...
Your homework is finished! TonyForm.html: HTML FORM ACTION=Tony1.php METHOD=post Name: INPUT TYPE=text NAME=lname br INPUT TYPE=Submit VALUE=Go /FORM /HTML tony1.php ? $lname = $HTTP_POST_VARS['lname']; ? html body ? echo (Welcome $lname); ? A HREF=Tony2.php?name=?echo($lname) ? Link /A /body /html tony2.php ? $name = $HTTP_GET_VARS['name']; ? html body ? echo (Hello $name); ? /body /html I'm trying to pass a variable from a form text box into a php file (Tony1.php). Then, I'd like to click on a link in the Tony1.php page and get the Tony2.php page to load with the original variable -$lname - printed on the next page (Tony2.php). The Tony2.php loads when I click the link but the value from the variable is not printed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The code is below.

Can you paste Tnoy2.php script? Please make sure in Tony2.php $name is printed but not $lname.

Re: [PHP] Trying to pass a variable through a form...
Thanks Alex. I typed in: $name within the script for Tony2.php and it was fine. *However*, I thought I could have the value from that variable entered into the Tony2.php page by using the AHREF tag... This is what I'm reading: Let's say you wanted to construct your site so that it showed the visitors name at the top of *every* page. With our custom welcome message example above, we're halfway there already. Here are the problems we'll need to overcome to extend the example into what we need. We need the name on *every* page of the site, not just one. The first problem isn't too hard too overcome. Once we have the user's name in a variable on one page, we can pass it with any request to another page by adding the name to the query string of all links: A HREF=Tony2.php?name=?php echo($lname); ? Link /A I thought that by having the php script within the AHREF tag that would accomplish that without coding each page with: echo $name Please advise if and when you get a chance... TR ..
