passing from file to file

[phpgoal]

I mapped some fields that I identify with IDs, one of the IDs needs to be passed to another function via “href” (or by the button click on the mapped area), I can get the call to a file but I am against the wall with passing the ID, it does not exist once I get out of the file. I tried “global vars” but nothing seems to work. Anyone tried anything like that?

<area shape="rect" coords="10,104,114,123" href="<?php user_get_biz("file1.php","10104114123"); ?>">

function user_get_biz($file,$crdid){
	echo $file."?".$crdid;		// I get it here but nowhere else, the file1.php should pass the ID value alone for next processing but …, is there a way to grab the ID?
}

I hope I am not missing what you are trying to do here. But I think you can do something like this to pass an id to another file:

<img src="image.gif" alt="logo" border="0" usemap="#Map" />
<map name="Map" id="Map">
<area shape="rect" coords="1,1,39,39" href="file.php?crdid=1" />
<area shape="rect" coords="45,2,85,39" href="file.php?crdid=2" />
<area shape="rect" coords="87,3,126,37" href="file.php?crdid=3" />
</map>

OR, if you want to pass the id into the same file, couldn't you do this:

<img src="image.gif" alt="logo" border="0" usemap="#Map" />
<map name="Map" id="Map">
<area shape="rect" coords="1,1,39,39" href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?crdid=1'; ?>" />
<area shape="rect" coords="45,2,85,39" href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?crdid=2'; ?>" />
<area shape="rect" coords="87,3,126,37" href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?crdid=3'; ?>" />
</map>

Then, in your file, do something like this:

<?php
if(isset($_GET['crdid'])){
    $crdid = $_GET['crdid'];
}
// then use the id in your script from here...
?>

I am not sure how to reply, I pushed the "Quote" and replaced the text?!?!? I guess I messed up something here. Sorry.
