Passing Variables

[Anon]

Hi all,

I have a problem when passing variables in multipages(more than three).

In the second page, I can get the variables as hidden variables from the first page by the method of post. But when I try to get the variables in the third page though the second page, I failed and the value of the variable is the name of the variables. What happens and how to pass the same variables though various pages??

Thanks for help!

When going to the third page are you still using the same POST method. The values for the hidden values have to be initialized by the variables from the fist page. Have php generate your <input type="hidden" name="var1" value=$var_from_first_page>. Also you can pass by href link. When you go to the third page from the second you can put the values into the URL string i.e. www.yourdomain.com?var1=value_set_from_second_page as the target location. The var1 can then be used anywhere in this page being $var1 last way is by cookies.. which i've never used before. I'm still kinda a newbie. Did I shed any light??

I found that when you pass to the 3rd page you'll need to echo the variable value into the href

eg <form name='preview' method='POST' action='saveFile.php?efn=<?echo($efn);?>'>

where efn is the multipassed variable other wise I just got efn's value as "$efn" not what I wanted

hope this helps as well

Quite right I should have added to mine when sending the variable outside of php. Doh!!
