[PHP] passing variables between pages without using url??
hi php'ers! just a quick question please, it would help me out a lot. i've written a form, which passes value to a ph script to insert them into mysql. from there on, i forward onto another page, but using : header(Location: http://www.foo.com/foo2.php?id=4user=foo;); now i really don't want to have the url on the next page looking like that because people might change the values, refresh the page and mess up my database. so is there any other ways i can pass values on?? thanks!! sunny __ Do You Yahoo!?

Perhaps you should consider using the POST method instead of the GET method. Then the variables are not displayed in the query string. If you are passing across a series of pages, after the first page you'll want to add the variables you're going to pass to hidden input fields or use session variables which will make the variables available throughout the user's session or until you destroy the session. -- Steve Werby President, Befriend Internet Services LLC http://www.befriend.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ok, but how do I use post when using Header?? I would like to have a form, but I don't know how I would make the script automatcially re-direct in a form... becase I know how to use form variables that way. But all I can think of is using header, yet that displays the variables as its like get :( /sunny --- Steve Werby [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: sunny AT wde [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i've written a form, which passes value to a ph script to insert them into mysql. from there on, i forward onto another page, but using : header(Location: http://www.foo.com/foo2.php?id=4user=foo;); now i really don't want to have the url on the next page looking like that because people might change the values, refresh the page and mess up my database. so is there any other ways i can pass values on??
