[Resolved] Passing Value to PhP with Register Global off

dc6g

Hi,

My problem is how to pass a value such as an image path from a html page to a PhP page upon click with register global off? I have multiple html pages each with a jpg file path where I want to pass to a PhP page that identifies which image path it is stored in mySql then displayed it from the database. What is the best way of approaching this?

It seems I can do it with an input type hidden form and use HTTP_POST_VARS to retrieve it? Please help me out.

Thank you
Dennis

create form in your html page
action = name of php file
value [filepath] = image path thats in html page

<form name="form1" method="post" action="imagefile.php">
<input type="hidden" name="imagepath" value="mygif.gif">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>

//create imagefile.php

<?php
//this will get the path name with registered global off
$path=$_POST['imagepath'];

if($path == ""){
echo "ERROR GETTING POST VALUE";
exit;
}else{

//connect to database
//do something
}
?>

This is vary basic example, if you provide more information like whats in database and what u exactly want to do might get you more help.
goodluck

Thank you so much,

How do i change the "Submit" buttom name to an alternative name that I have in mind such as "Click Here"

Is there anyway where I can use a regular link expression such as
<a href="test.php">click here</a> to transfer the values over? Or it has to be submitted using a form?

My setup is using PhP 4.3 with MySql database using Windows. Each html page displays a particular picture from images directory. What I am trying to do is to provide a link to a PhP forum (which i'm still in the process of building) where it will use the image path transfered to call the same picture from the database ( as in to query the database and request the row where it has the same image path name as transfered) Then it will display all the text comments about that picture from the database along with the picture as well.

Is there a better way of doing this? Because I don't need any user inputs at all, i just need to somehow transfer that image path so I know which image it is the user were browsing then call the right one out along with thier comments.

Hi.. again

I forget to tell about your second question..

Yes you can use the other method than submit button but what i use is this..

this is a event call when a user click the link and you can than redirect the value using javascript or other scripting language...

hope u understand the base line here use : http://www.w3schools.com for html tutorial and good examples
