[RESOLVED] Global variable problem

niroshan

Hi everyone,

I have a page called index.php and in there I have a variable called "$allow_script". From index.php im calling a php file inside a script tag. Here`s the senario in a sensible way,

index.php file

<?php
$allow_script=true;
?>
<html>
<head>
<title> new document </title>
<meta name="generator" content="editplus">
<meta name="author" content="">
<meta name="keywords" content="">
<meta name="description" content="">
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="linker.php"></script>


.........

</html>

Is there anyway i can access this variable '$allow_script' inside 'linker.php' file. I tried many ways but they all seems to fail.

But instead of linking the 'linker.php' using scripts src attribute, if i called it using normal php include function I can access the variable.

So im just wondering can I do that? If not y?

Thanx in advance.

Regards,

hi everyone,

After so much hard work finally figured it out. hey thanx to my buddy JAHUFER 🙂 Thanx for u r help man really appreciate it.

Here the answer just in case if anyone want to do the same thing :

Instead of using a php variable i used sessions. heres the findings for you guys,

index.php

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['allow_script']=1;
?>
<html>
<head>
<title> new document </title>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="linker.php"></script>
</head>

<body>
<input type="button" name="b1" value="click me" onclick="show();">

</body>
</html>

linker.php

<?php
session_start(); 
if($_SESSION['allow_script'])
{
?>	 	
	function show()
	{
		alert('niro');
	}

<?php
}
else
{
?>		
	no way you cannt have my jscript
<?php
}	 

unset($_SESSION['allow_script']);
?>

hope this is useful to you all 😃

if you found any bugs in this code please let me know.
