HTTP_POST_VARS or HTTP_GET_VARS

Bob_PHP_Builder

Hi i have two php files.. i want to get a variable $author across to both files from the index.php file.

how can i use the http_post_vars & http_get_vars together...

i wanna use http_post_vars in the upload.php file and i want the http_get_vars in the gallery file...

any suggestions on what i should do?

Thanken you

I think you should just pass by the query string and so use $_GET. You can use the query string even with a form that uses the POST method.

im not sure what that means do you have a quick example or a url?

hmm... how are you passing from index.php to upload.php and the gallery file?

im using an image uploader program
defining the variables in javascript

index to upload
iu.addParam("Action", "upload.php");

index to gallery
iu.addParam("RedirectUrl","gallery.php?Author=");

i need HTTP_POST_VAR in the upload.php file
i need HTTP_GET_VAR in the gallery.php file

Consult the documentation for the program.

defining the variables in javascript

You arent defining any variables.

The thing is, I have no idea of what you are really trying to do. How does an image uploader program factor into this? Javascript? What Javascript? Javascript is clientside, PHP is serverside.

HTTP_POST_VAR? HTTP_GET_VAR? They dont exist, and never have, unless you have defined them yourself. In the past we used $HTTP_POST_VARS and $HTTP_GET_VARS, but now we use $POST and $GET.

My suggestion is to write and post the smallest and simplest script that demonstrates the problem. This script must be testable by other people, and not depend on some image uploader program or Javascript (unless it is actually a Javascript problem, upon which you should post in the clientside technology forum instead).

how do i know that a page is using get method or post method in php without checking in the URL window

in a page i am using

$x=$get['name'];

When i run the script if we look at the URL we can find which method we are using.But any other way in PHP to find out.Please help

Post and get aren't mutually exclusive, so both can be used in one request. To find if either has any elements assigned to it, you can use isset(). Use the same method for a particular element of the array, e.g. "isset($_GET['name']". The empty() function will tell you if an element is non-empty and non-zero.
