php script execution order

[Anon]

I have a project where I need to have one php script execute before another one. I was wondering if there was any way to do this without having any real control of the server?

Also if it helps, the problem is that one script is supposed to execute off of the "onUnload()" part of the page where it does some changes to the session variables. The page that the browser then moves to uses the session information. The trouble is that sometimes the first script executes first and the desired results appear on the screen- but other times it doesn't and the old server side variables appear.

Any ideas?

Simple... the files are parsed top to bottom... place the scrips in needed INCLUDE files and call them where needed with the include function.

The unload script is a bit of a burdon, so I recommend you just make an intermediate routing file (if it involves sending headers) or jsut place it at the bottom of the file (if it doenst involde headers).

For example I like to keep my code separate, and to send an email from a form will do this:

sendfolr.hmtl --> POST data to --> sendit.php --> Header("Location: done.html") -->
done.html --> or, if mail fails go to some file where it says fail... 🙂)
