Passing parameters between 2 HTML/PHP documents

[Anon]

I have 2 HTML documents with embedded PHP. The first document queries a MySql database and presents a table of options to the user. Selecting a user calls the second document using a <A HREF=\"www.mysite.com\doc2.html?arg\">label</A>" so the doc2html is called and arg is passed to it.

I want the secnod (doc2.html) page to use teh arg in another MySql PHP query and present those results to the user.

I dont't know how to access arg in the second document. Anyone help ?

Use something like this

echo "<a href=\"www.mysite.com\doc2.html?arg=$arg\">label</a>";

Then on doc2.html you can use the variable $arg.

This is assuming you've got your web server set up to parse .html pages and PHP??

When ever you pass a variable in the url, it is automatically made into a variable on the next page.

<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/page.php?id=3">Click Here</a>

In your code for php.php, you can use the variable $id, which will be equal to 3.

Hopefully that helps you.

Thank you. That worked. I had also discovered that $QUERY_STRING is another way of doing it but not as clear.

Can you tell me the syntax for passing TWO or more variables in this way...

Thanks,
John

You can pass as many variables as you want, just seperate them by &

echo "<a href=\"page2.php?id=$id&name=$name&var=$var\">Click Here</a>";
