How to send a value to another php page?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 05.2009

Page 1:

<?php
$uid=$_GET[‘uid’];
header(“location: …../page2.php”);
die();
?>

how to get value of $uid in page2.php?

Note:

I don’t want to use
…./page2.php?uid=$uid
this is why I redirect page 1 to page 2.
I hope uid is hidden from user on web address box.

Thanks

@huckepickAug 05.2009 — the only way to hide transmitted vars from the URL is to send them via post instead of get.

[code=html]
<form action="page1.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="uid"/>
</form>
[/code]

calling the var in php would then work via the post var

[CODE] $uid=$_GET['uid'];[/CODE]

but why dont you want to use the get thing?

if u just use the page1 to redirect it will never be displayed in the browsers address box

@ryanlundAug 05.2009 — Come on guys, what about sessions?

simply start the session using the function session_start() and then set your session like

$_SESSION['uid']=$id;

for example ......page 1:

[code=php]
<?php
$uid=$_GET['uid'];
session_start();
$_SESSION['uid']=$uid;
header("Location: ...../page2.php");
?>
[/code]

Page 2:

[code=php]
<?PHP

session_start();
$uid=$_SESSION['uid'];

?>
[/code]

Obviously, i recommend validating the first GET before using any of this, and also validate all session values before using them, never know what your user might of done to them.

@huckepickAug 05.2009 — i just focused on the transmitting part of the problem and forgot about handling the data at all

definitely as session would be the way to store $uid before redirecting.

@ryanlundAug 05.2009 — Yeah definatly, i just thought i would drop the validation stuff in there just incase you had just started out at PHP, or even programming for that matter. As long as you have it all in control =)

Nice response, remind me to never bother posting anything helpful in one of your threads... It's pretty funny that you don't know enough to answer this for yourself, yet you are happy to mock people who do know more and are trying to help you out.
