Passing vars in URL still doesn't work

[Anon]

The following does not work, the vars to be passed in the URL disappear:

In order not to write an endless string of variables I call

require "funct_poststr_set.php";
which does:

$post_str="post_dbtable=$qu_dbtable&post_dbentry=$post_dbentry&post_title=$post_title&post_parent=$post_parent&post_level=$post_level&post_order=$post_order&post_startpos=$post_startpos"; (it is even longer!)

THEN I have a switch condition which then sets the adress to call incl. all the vars I set above.

switch ($x_which_window) {
case 0: // show cart_display (default)
$post_str="Location:http://".$SERVER["HOST"]."/shop/cart_display.php3?".$post_str;
break;

other cases...

AT THE END I call the new page:
header($post_str);

In the called programm none of the set variables are set.

IF I use the long string with the post-vars directly in the case-area like

$post_str="Location:http://".$SERVER["HOST"]."/shop/cart_display.php3?post_dbtable=$qu_dbtable&post_dbentry=$post_dbentry&....";

it works fine and all vars are set in the called program.

Does somebody has na idea?

Kind regards

Your cannot access those variables because their scope is outside your local scope. In order to bring them into your local scope you need to use the global function....

example:

$myvar = "Hello World";

function Bad() {
print $myvar . "Bad Scope";
}

function Good() {
global $myvar;
print $myvar . "Good Scope";
}

Bad();
Good();

THANK you all so much! I found the mistake! I sort of deleted the vars in the next program. Sorry, but I am a beginner!

Kind regards
