Variable transfer

neekow

Hi!

I'd like to transfer a variable from a sheet to an other without using form or session (It's a connexion sheet, so the user will not be able to clic, he wont see it...). I will start my session just after the connexion.

How could I do?

Thanks for your help!

hi,

what type of variable you want to send , and is the type of value

connexion means?

i'm guessing a connexion document is a redirect

you'd probably need to use a GET variable if you don't want to use forms (POST) or sessions

Hi bvsureshbabu,

I want to send string variable.
To explain you, I want to create a folder for each sessions, for instance, a folder of the login of the user (because I saw that if 2 users are connected on the same computer, they will have the same session... under Netscape or Mozilla but not with I.E.).
So I need to get the login of the user to specify the path of the session file (the folder is already created) with session_save_path("../../".$login."/") and $login is my variable I want to transfer.

The connexion sheet is just a redirection sheet with a connexion to my base and there isn't any form. So I can't get the login of the user.

According to me (an idea...) :
I'd like to make a "ghost" form with an hidden input with the login but I don't know how automaticaly submit a form...

Do you see exactly what is my problem?

Thanks a lot.

Yes, it is what I mean but a get method is not very secure...
I didn't thought about it.

I think it will be the best solution nevertheless.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Here is the solution of my problem, for those who are interested in...
(It's Javascript application in php)

print "<script type=\"text/javascript\">";
	print "function submitForm() {";
    print "document.login.submit()}";
print "</script>";

print"<body onLoad=\"submitForm()\">";
$login=$_POST["login"];
print "<form name=\"login\" method=\"post\" action=\"next_page.php\">";
print "<input name=\"login\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"".$login."\"/>";
print "</form>";
print "</body>

In my case it works very well and the user don't intervene.
It's what I was looking for.
