[Resolved] Passing variable values between php scripts

[tickled_pink]

At the moment I have a data entry form (client registration). When the client presses the submit button, a 'header' instruction is called which redirects the browser to an acknowledgement screen if the details have been entered correctly.

The acknowledgement screen should also display the client's 'Application ID' and 'Password'. However, I can't get it to display the information correctly. I assume that I'm not passing the variables correctly between the client registration and acknowledgement scripts.

I've tried using something like this:

$headervar = "Location: regcomplete.php?app_id=".$app_id."?pass=".$password;
header($headervar);

Any ideas?😕

use a form with method=post and action=yournewpage.php

then just grab the data from the $_POST[] superglobal

[edit] just FYI, header() will not submit ANY form data unless being called with get tags in the URL (which your script would hvae to build dynamically for each header() call

This is pretty much what I want to do. The reason for this is that some of the variables are generated outside the form.

I thought that this was how I was doing it. However, the data the second script is receiving for the password is the full string after the '?'.

Just figured it out like this ...

$headerstring = "Location: regcompleted.php?app_id=$app_id&pass=$password";
header($headerstring);

Works nicely😉
