printer friendly page

bobbytrigger

I have 4 arrays in a page, filled with various variables from selects from oracle tables. I'm trying to create a printer friendly page, and was thinking about passing the arrays to another page.
how can i pass the varibles in the url (or is there an easier way by reloading to reformat the page).

Cheers.

I wonder why you need to pass these arrays to an other script. Your pages or arrays probably have an id, no ? Anyway you can use sessions to transfer huge amount of data between scripts.

id:

article_view.php?id=57

...
echo your arrays
...
<A HREF="article_view_printer_friendly.php?id=57">printer friendly page</A>
...

article_view_printer_friendly.php?id=57

...
echo your arrays in a printable way

Sorry, dont quite understand what your saying. Id's ?

I have 4 arrays full of data:

$one();
$two();
$three();
$four();

ive already tried to make them global using:

$bob = $one;
session_register("bob");

but i still cannot retrieve the contents of $bob in another page.

i'm going slightly mad...

Here's one way...
You can also use $HTTP_SESSION_VARS but that's only needed for anything less than 4.1.x I think.

Best,

******* page1.php ***********
<?php
session_start();

$SESSION[CONTACT_ID] = "2";
$SESSION[CONTACT_NAME] = "Matthew Kurowski";
$_SESSION[CONTACT_RATING] = "This dude rocks!";

echo "<a href=\"page2.php\">Who rocks?</a>"
?>

******* page2.php ***********
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($SESSION[CONTACT_ID])){
echo $SESSION[CONTACT_NAME]." <b>ROCKS!</B>";
}else
echo "We have no friends...nothing...we are losers...:-(";

Why not make a file with the same queries, but without design elements.

and in page.php have:

<a href="print_friendly.php?id=$id">Print page</a>
