passing parameters

[Anon]

Hello everyone,

I realize this is probably a really easy question but I have never come across it before. See I normally pass values in a form through the URL or just through the "submit" and make the variable Global.

I want to pass the variables using parameters.

eg) studentDetails($studentID)

but how do I do this because I currently have a form which lists all the students in the school. I used "onClick" to assign the studentID (I am not sure if that worked yet) and now that I have the studentID I want to pass it to the studentDetails function. I don't want to put the studentID in the URL for security purposes and I don't want to use GLOBAL $studentID;

Any ideas??

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

If you use post as your method, the data won't be passed through the url. To access your variables, name them the same as your form field names.

<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="process.php">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="studentID" VALUE="<? echo $studentID; ?>">
</FORM>
