Passing variables

mjl4975

I am trying to pass a variable to another page that is created after from an uploaded file.

I am trying to send the variable $photoLink as shown below:

<?php

$file_dir = "photos"; // No trailing slash at the end!

if ($done)
{ 
copy($fupload, "$file_dir/$fupload_name") or die("Upload failed.");
unlink($fupload);
$photoLink = "photos/". $fupload_name;
header("Location: insert_photos2.php?$photoLink");
} 

?>

I am then trying to get variable on the next page using:

<?php echo $HTTP_GET_VARS['photoLink'] ?>

Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong.

Thanks

I have also tried passing the variable as

header("Location: insert_photos2.php?photoLink=$photoLink");

But this didn't work either.

The variable I am trying to pass is not a form variable. I think that is why I am having trouble sending it. It is created in the if statement after the form has been submitted.

Anymore advice would be much appreciated.

header("Location: insert_photos2.php?photoLink=$photoLink");

that is working fine on my end. How r u accessing the variable in the insert_photos2.php?

heres wat i have and it is working fine:

Page1.php

$value="world";
header("Location:Page2.php?hello=$value");

Page2.php

echo $_GET['hello'];

Page 2 outputs "world".

I think what u might be doing wrong is dat, variable names r case sensitive. SO i wudd double check the variables. This also cudd b an issue of whether register_globals being turned off. So please post ur code, if the code that i have provided does not work for u.
