easy question(i think)

[levans]

if I pass a variable from one php file to another through the URL the second echo doesn't print but the first one prints no problem:

$from = $_GET['userPassed'];
echo $from;


if($_POST['Submit'] == 'Send')
{
echo $from;

}

It must lose the data when I click submit. Here is my form tag:

<form action="email.php" method="post">

Do i need to pass the variable in there or something else to get the $from data inside the if statement? Thanks!

hi,

<form action="email.php" method="post" >

<input type=password name=userPassed>
<input type=submit value=Send name=Submit>
</form>

and the email.php file is
<?
$from = $_REQUEST["userPassed"];
echo $from. "<br>";

if($_POST['Submit'] == 'Send')
{
echo $from;

}
?>

Thanks but it didnt work.

Im can _GET the the value no problem from one file to the file i want to use it in. The only problem is that when I click the send button on the 2nd file i lose the data.

try getting the variable with in the submit like this:

if($POST['Submit'] == 'Send')
{
$from =$REQUEST['variable'];
echo $from;

}
?>

when u r going to click submit on second file i.e. i understand it also hava a form so in this form use hidden value like this

<form action="3rdfile.php" method="post" >
<input type=hidden name=userPassed value=<?=$from;?>>
<input type=submit value=Send name=Submit>
</form>

so the value send to the 3rdfile.php and u can again receive this value on this file..
