PHP :: Changing The Variable As You Pass It Through To The 2nd Page

How Can I Pass Variable To Next Page?
I have a search page to search the database, the input from user are include 4 items:

keywords
country

date

Pass Variable To Another Page
i know i can pass a variable with POST or GET. but i want to do the following:

a user enters wrong login credentials, so i redirect the user to error.php.
but i also want to pass the message "login credentials not found!".
I could do this with: header("location:index?php?page=error&err=wrong login credentials");

but i don't want the error string to be visible. can i do this another way?
POST doesn't seem an option to me as there isn't a form involved.

Pass A Variable To A Second Php Page?
I am working on my first multi-page php project, and was wondering how this works. On the very first page I have:

<select name="itemtype"> which is given a value of 1, 2, or 3 and passed to the next page by:

$itemtype = $_POST['itemtype']; where the value of itemtype is used in a switch statement.

I want to use the itemtype variable again, and add it to my database, so the page can remember if the item is a dvd or cd or book.

$itemtype = $_POST['itemtype'];

Doesn't seem to be working again is there a way to pass this variable?

Changing Variable Folder Names To Php Variable
Let me just show you quickly what I mean:

The site url:

http://www.nothing.com/vr/

will then redirect to

http://www.nothing.com/index.php?sec=vr

I'm just wondering if this is possible. The folder after the domain isn't an actual folder, but rather a pseudo one, which is then used in a varible. Another example:

http://www.nothing.com/test/
->
http://www.nothing.com/index.php?sec=45&desc=test

The "folder" has to be variable and so cannot be an actual folder.

Pass Through Variable
I'm trying to create an image gallery, with (of course) for every
picture
the same javascript-pop-up. Because i use the same javascript, i only
want
to tell it the number of the image... Below is what i have, and it
works:

<?php $pic="01";list($width, $height, $type, $attr) =
getimagesize("./pix/$pic.jpg");
echo "<a href="javascript:MM_openBrWindow('foto.php?naam=$pic&pic=./pix/$pic.jpg','dames3','width=$width,height=$height') "><img
src="./tmb/$pic.gif" height="90" width="90" alt="$pic"
/></a>";
?>

But when i copy it, and change $pic="01" to $pic="02", i get an error.
(Which
makes sense) But how can i tell the same script to take another
number..

The best would be something like <?php $pic="01"; print $script;
$pic="02"; print $script;
etc...
?>
$script would be everything of the earlier mentioned coding except for
'$pic = "..."' So you'd have to include it, but i can't even get that
to
work.. (I can't find a way to include php-script by calling it: echo
$script)

How To Pass A Variable ?
I use PHP with WML. After a simple form (login & password) I check if they are correct (with MySQL) and if yes:

echo ("<card ontimer="lesson.wml">n");
echo ("<timer value="30"/>n");
echo ("<p> Password ".$pass." accepted for login ".$find." </p>n");

what I want is to the next page lesson.wml the variable $find to exist with the value it had here. Meaning I want to keep the login name to the next page. How can I do that??

Changing Db Within Page
I have a php page that flips between dbs and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't... e.g. the first query runs from this db, the second query runs from a different db and then the third query runs from the first db again... the first query will run, the second query will run, but then the third query will not.

Each time that I switch to a query that calls a different db, I used include_once "db_whatever"; before the query, thinking that, that would work, but it doesn't... Is there something I need to do to kill the previous db connection prior to moving onto another one?

Need To Pass Variable To Another Window
I have a dropdown on my intranet that list all of our referral partners so when I enter a client I can select who referred them to us. Well, things have been going well and this dropdown now has 200 entries to select from. It is getting tedious to go through all of these, so I was thinking of a way to search them by poping up another window for the search and when the partner is selected it will go in a text field or something similar. However, I have no idea how to pass the variable in the popup window to the regular browser window. Anyone have any ideas on how to do this?

How Do I Pass A Variable Outside A Function?
I'm building a form with php validation, and I'm quite pleased with what I have thus far, but I have a problem - I can't get it to stop! When there are errors in the form it works beautifully, highlighting the missed fields while retaining the info in the filled-in fields. But if there aren't any errors, I can't get it to take the next step and insert the values into MySQL database. PHP Code:

How To Pass A Php Variable To Exec()

How Do U Pass Variable Between Pages?
I am using windows nt and trying to enter data in a form on one page and then send it to another page to be displayed.

The problem is Page one works (entering the data into the forms and sending it) but when it gets to page 2 the data does not display. I am using 'method=get' and the data i entered on the form appears on the url but not on the page. For example, the name entered in page 1 is stored in YourName and should be displayed when i use the following code:

Hi <?php print $YourName; ?> .

However all that is displayed is "Hi ."

Does this sound like a common problem or not/ Any ideas how to fix it?

Pass Variable To Another Script
I need to pass a variable from script1.php to script2.php. The problem
is that these scripts use frames and therefore I am able to pass the
variable through the URL. It also does not use forms to set this
variable, so i cannot pass it this way either.

So to simplify I have :

script1.php
<?php
$var1 = value;
echo '<href="script2.php">link to script2</a>'
?>

script2.php

<?php
echo $var1;
?>

How can script2 find this value?

Changing A Variable Based On Time Of Day

Sessions::Changing Variable Values Within?
Well my site is using a session that contains user info from the log in page. I have in the URL two vars that are used to navigate and to have a multi-language site. The url looks like this: mypage.php?lang=e&group=200&SIDjksdhjsgh34sjh343xxw

At any page, the user can click any language and the same exact page reloades. I did this by fetching the URI and using preg_replace() to replace the "lang=e" to "lang=whatever"

I would like to put that $lang var into the session (SID). I know how to put it in and all but my problem is this: To integrate this into the session, I'd have to be able to, at anytime, update the $lang variable (in the session) and reload the page. And since the session's $lang var has been updated the user will see his/her language in the following pages. How do I do this?

I was thinking of putting the session into cookies but then anyone could copy the cookies and see private forms etc... So with that in mind, should I just leave it as it is now and just make a button that would create a cookie with only the language preference? But I'd love to know how to update a var in a session because now I know is to create the session, add the vars, use them elsewhere, and destroy the session..

Changing Variable Names In A DO Loop
I am having a problem coming up with an idea on how to change a variable name while in a do loop. Example, I have variables $v1 through $v15. Instead of having 15 'if' statements to process each variable, it would be nice to 'bump' the variable name in a loop. PHP Code:

Randomly Changing Variable Values
I have a function which outputs an image to a filename which is specified by a combination of a variable inputted into the function, and a hard-coded location. The variable is being inputted to the function correctly - i placed an echo command the line before the function is called and that value is correct.....

however an echo command within the function seems to show a different value. It is this changed value which is being used as the location, not the correct one which is being sent to the function

8081_B12345_53444900_10 becomes 8081_B12345_53444900_14
8081_B12345_53444900_U99 becomes 8081_B12345_53444900_V03
8081_B12345_53444900_aa becomes 8081_B12345_53444900_ae

Any idea what is causing this? It shouldn't be my coding as between the two echo commands all that happens is the value is passed to the function.

Pass Variable In Http Address
I'm trying to write a fairly simple php script which looks at a csv text file in the same directory for its data based on a variable that is passed in the address but am really struggling on this.. An example of what the address could be is:

The database.txt file will contain something like this:

1234,yes,yes,yes
4567,no,yes,yes
8901,yes,no,no

When field1 is 1234, it should then look at the next three fields to determine what result to display. For example,

yes,yes,yes should give a result of "I work"
no,yes,yes should result "I am disabled"
yes,no,no should be "I am done"
