PHP page variables

[Anon]

Hi! I'm curious how a php variable in one scripting page could be made available in another scripting page. Hope somebody could answer this... Thanks in advance...

If it is a form, use the GET method and it will automatically send variables to the "action" page.

If not a form, you can send them manually (this may not be the best way at all, but it works):

<?
echo "<a href=\"AssignmentAdd.php3?SSN=$Social_Num&User_LN=$LastName\">"; ?>View</a>"

You can also use session variables, depending on what you are trying to do.

it's like this. i have an html page and when the user clicks on a button in a form, it calls a php script which has a certain variable( say $x). the variable $x starts the session. then the same php script echoes an html file which has a button to end the session. when the user clicks on this 'end' button, the new php script which only ends the session would have to access the variable $x declared earlier (in another php script). how must i do that?

Have a hidden form field on the 'End' page along button. When the page is echoed out, fill in its value with $x

<form ...><input type="hidden" name="x" value="<?php echo $x?>"><input type="submit" name="End" value="End"></form>
