Passing variables w/o forms

Anon

Hi,
Is there a way to pass variables to another page without the use of forms? I have a hidden processing page and I want some of its output to be sent to another page.

Pass variables with the query string, e.g. "http://www.mysite.com/mypage.php?varname=varvalue"

Is that what you were looking for?

Sure,

It's working just fine. So suddenly all those hidden variables a/o fields are getting visible directly to everybody e/o everywhere. From the MouseOver - Status bar to URL Browser Bar. Do you say so in english?!! Excuse moi...

Solution:
-URL Cloaking
-JS self.status
-& http referal denail

OR the thing that I'm trying to work on it is actually urlencode... This one might be a bit more serious & more secure application. ;-)

If you have any better idea just post it here. Now,... because I wanna know about it, please. Tx.

Have you looked at using Session Management variables to control this. You can set up as many variables as you want and send them to the user, store them, use them in a form... etc. It will send them a cookie with the sessionid, and if they disable cookies, it adds the sessionid to the URL (automatically in apache if configured correctly). When the user hits the next page, you can get the variables (by the way they are stored serverside so they cannot be edited) and do what you want with them.

If you have any questions or want and example, e-mail me.

I tried using session variables but I think I have something set up wrong. I'd like to see an example because I'm trying to do this also.

I'd like to ask a similar question.

Im trying to automatically redirect a page which has php variables in hidden form tags.

The info needs to be POST-ed to another page (which is not in my control coz its a another website /organisation). I cant build a query string and use GET coz the data is too big.

How can i redirect a page whilst inserting all the POST data into an HTTP header?

I need to do this because i need to collect info from a form, then use a php3 page to:
1. store it into a database / email me
2. then forward the user to another domain.

My solution at the moment is to do the db work, then present an HTML page which asks them to press a submit button.

To put it simply i want the submit button to be 'pressed' automaticly without user action or client side scripting (e.g none of this;" javascript:[Form name here].submit() " ).
Thank you in advance.
