keeping vars during a reload

jarob1971

How can I keep a variable when the page is reloaded? I have a form that a user enters information, and when the user clicks the submist button, the same web page is called. I need to have $row (from MySQL) passed back. I do not want to use $_GET. I had this working before, but I have upgraded my PHP, and it no longer works.

Setting global $row does not work anymore.

Please help.

Change register_globals = Off to register_globals = On in your php.ini, now PHP by default disables it for security reasons.

Thanks for the tip. I will do this for now, but what about the security thing? I read about using $_GET, but saw nothing about keeping a variable during a refresh.

I want to pass variables as well as $row from MySQL queries. Get wont wont.

I can now progress on my code.

Thanks.

Use a hidden form element to pass the data you need.

when the page gets submitted, you can now get your $row variable back by using:

$_POST['row']
