Storing temporary data

[Anon]

Does anyone know a smart way to store temporary data in PHP from several submit-pages on one saving-data page before at final submit where the database transaction takes place? There are too many variables to use the cookies – and I cant figure out any global array or static variables that fits!

Hi,

Did you tried to store them in session vars ?

Read manual/ref.session.html

There is also an article on session management on PHPBuilder.

Hi,

A not very elegant solution would be to insert the following in the form of every page:

while(list($key, $var)=each($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
echo "<input type='hidden' name='$key' value='$var'>";
}

So your variables will be passed from page to page in hidden input fields (you should probably put the above into a function to make it neater!)

Hope that helps

This solution is good if you want eliminate cookies problem. If sombody disables cookies. This is good way to send data. But with session you can use SID or smth.
