Trouble Passing Variables and Split Forms

Anon

Hi everyone,

I have been trying to pass variables and been having trouble. I have been successful sending the variables from script a to b and then from b to c. But when I use $vara=$HTTP_GET_VARS["var1"]; functions to retrieve the variables and resend them through another link, the variables are empty in my url when I go to pass them. Can anyone tell me the problem? Also does anyone know how to send variables from one form to several different pages (scripts) using just one submit?

Thanks For Your Help In Advance

have you set the HTTP_TRack_vars directive.

check out this link:
http://www.phpbuilder.com/manual/configuration.php3#INI.TRACK-VARS

phpinfo(); should tell you if you have it turned on or not.

As for your multiple action submit, I don't know if that's possible. You might be able to submit it to one page that in turn loops over a list and submit HTTP_POST_VARS to those pages, but again, I don't know you have to try that.

{
include ( "include/conectdb.inc" );

		$sql = "SELECT dunm FROM oaces WHERE dunm = '$aunm'";

		$result = mysql_query($sql,$db);

		$rowchk = mysql_num_rows($result);

		if($rowchk == 0)
		{

			$sql1 = "INSERT INTO oaces (dunm,acod) VALUES ('$aunm','$arpas')";

			$result1 = mysql_query($sql1,$db);

			echo $dsrdusrnm;

			echo '
					<head>
						<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=../register2.php3">

$result = mysql_query($sql,$db);

echo $result;

print result;;

print mysql_error();

if ( $asalu == "" )
{
	if ( $agender == "Male" )
		$asalu = "Mr.";
	if ( $agender == "Female" )
		$asalu = "Ms.";
}

$sql1 = "INSERT INTO oprdtl (usrid,salu,fnm,lnm,dob,sex) VALUES  (LAST_INSERT_ID(),'$asalu','$afnm','$alnm','$adobd/$adobm/$adoby','$agender')";

echo $sql1; 

$result1 = mysql_query($sql1,$db);

echo $result1;

print result1;

print mysql_error();

I'm not quite sure what errors you're getting or what problem you're having. but you can pass variable two ways: thourgh the GET method or POST method. using the GET method, variables are passed through the URL in name value pairs, through the post method, there pass in the http headers as name value pairs.

either way in order to get access to these variables, you need to register them. there is a directive called register_globals.

read below it is similar to my comment below. chack the php manual for register_globals.

have you set the HTTP_TRack_vars directive.

                           check out this link: 
                           http://www.phpbuilder.com/manual/configuration.php3#INI.TRACK-VARS

                           As for your multiple action submit, I don't know if that's possible. You might be able to submit it to
                           one page that in turn loops over a list and submit HTTP_POST_VARS to those pages, but again, I don't
                           know you have to try that.
