PHP :: Avioding Expired Pages, & Carrying Data Accross Multiple Form Pages

Carrying Over Variables From A Form To Multiple Pages...
I have some data from text fields that are being passed over through a
form that I am displaying with the $_POST superglobal. Once i have
echo'd out this data onto the next page, i'd like to continue to use
it on the next page. I haven't figured out how to do this properly
just yet, but I'm guessing it has something to do with sessions. I
have MANY variables being passed (over 100) and I'm hoping i don't
have to register each one of these manually with $_SESSION[].

example.

//first page (index.html)

<form action="form.php" method="post">
<select name="color"><option value="blue">blue</option><option
value="red">red</option>
<input name="submit" type="submit">

//new page (form.php)
<?php
echo "Bill's favorite color is {$_POST['color']}";
?>
////

Now say I want to use this $_POST['color'] value on another page that
the form.php takes you to next.....how do i continue to use this value
across multiple pages?

I'm assuming this is a trivial question, but i can't seem to figure it
out!

Form Action Post Data To Multiple Pages
I have 15 or more pages that I want to all post data to the last page for review and processing. Therefore I need to post data to a different page than the next page to be visited. Therefore the form action posts the data to the next page but that is the not the page I want the data to be posted too.

Carrying Variables Across 2 Pages
Is it possible to carry variables across two separate pages without using them. What i mean is, i have a user login page and then i load a separate page to check is the user is logged in, if true that redirects to the main page. but the variables arent available on the main page even though i used $_get on both pages.

Session_regenerate_id Not Carrying Through Other Pages
On one page, I am using session_regenerate_id() and when I echo the session_id(), I get a new value each time the page loads.

However, if I go to another page and echo the session_id() I get the old session_id (i.e., the one originally set, regardless of how many new session ids are generated).

The other odd thing is that everything works fine on a development computer, but when I upload to a live server, this is what happens. The only difference between the development area and the live server is that the root directory is one level up on the live versus the dev. Code:

Use Data Across Multiple Pages
Basically I want to have say 50 'pages' (although it would just be resubmitting to itself) where each page grabs data from one random row. I could do this simply by choosing a random row and then getting the data for that random row and displaying it. However, this would mean having 50 select statements and would really slow things down.

I cannot pre-generate the random sequence and pass it with the URL as it needs to be hidden. I looked into paging, but this just does what I have already, performing a select for each page. Is there anyway how I can just do one select query to grab the data for all 50 rows, and then use a row of this data one at a time for each page?

Signup Form With Multiple Pages
I am trying to create a signup form with multiple pages. I want to store the filled in values with sessions, not with hidden fields. I know how sessions work, but I don't know how to preserve the values between the pages of the signup form. I.e. when I go from page 1 to 2, then I use a submit button. But I want to be able to go back and change what I have filled in in page 1. But do I have to submit again? Because If you want to do this without a submitbutton, say a link, then you can't say if you use POST.

Trouble Passing Session Data Between 2 Form Pages
Form part 1. Depending on the selection in a field which controls the form action, the user goes to either review-1, or part 2. The review-1 page shows the data from part 1, offers option to return and edit, or submit. All that works fine.

Form part 2 (optional) One fills out additional fields, which are all appended to the same session. I know that the session data from part 1 is maintained into form page part 2 because I can display it on that page. However, when one advances to review-2, the part 1 data is gone. That's the problem. Code:

Can You Pull Multiple Pages Somehow Using Multiple Curl_exec's Before Calling Curl_close?
so after mulling over some way to use keep-alives with fsockopen I figured it would be easier to just switch to CURL which happens to support a ton of stuff including persistent connections.

I did some reading and all I could find was to take advantage of persistent connections one only has to specify multiple URLS with setopt before calling exec:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.example/");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.example.com/anotherpage.html");

and so on...

I put together a test script to see how the output would look but all I found was the last URL being displayed where I expected to see all specified pages spit out one after another in one page.

Am I doing this wrong, or maybe my home wamp setup isn't configured properly?

Perhaps the persistent connection thing is for the same curl session.. can you pull multiple pages somehow using multiple curl_exec's before calling curl_close? or are you supposed to call curl_close once the page is downloaded and before doing functions on the output?

Multiple Pages
I am working on a php script that would allow members to post artices on the homepage. I think I have that pretty much down, what I don't know how to do is to limit the articles posted. I only want, say 10, to show up on the hompage, then users can click next page to see the next 10 articles. How would I do this? And how would I beable to make a next page link, too?

Also, this might be a bit much, but how would I make an administrator page, that allows me to authorize which articles are posted, and which are discarded? Just a simple one that says, post or delete. I can do the rest that would let me edit etc. but I just don't know where to start!

Multiple Pages From One PHP Document
I'm trying to work out how to query a database in MySQL, get a nuumber of
listings that match some of the criteria. For example the database has a
"town" field. If the town field matches the form's town field (as input from
the user), that listing's "Title" field is printed.

This title should act as a link to the full information of the listing. EG.

The user enters "Plymouth" as the town,
The php sends a query to the database
The database says "yes we have 10 listings in plymouth" and lists the titles
of all 10 as links.
The user clicks on one of the titles named "Neil's House"
The php then sends a query to the database and prints all the details of
this listing including "Description" and "Directions" fields.

I hope that makes sense, but anyone have any ideas HOW to do it?

I have a feeling I'll need to add includes or if / else statements to only
print the whole listing if the database is certain it has the listing
required, but otherwise keep giving details until only one is listed.

Also is it possible to create an SQL database from an Excell spreadsheet?

Forms And Multiple Php Pages
I'm working on a site which has a form page for users to request information from our company. I have the form working correctly, and a php page which lets the user verify his/her input. On this page, I have a submit button which opens the next php page which sends the email message to our servers regarding the info request.

My problem is that it seems that my variables from the form (i.e. $name, $address, etc.) as well as any variables I created in my first php page can't be passed to the page that contains the mail-sending script. Does anyone know how to pass these variables on?

$_SESSION Not Sent Across Multiple Pages....

I have a page which sets a few $_SESSION variables as such:
$_SESSION['username'] = Bobby;
$_SESSION['authentic'] = 1;

I didn't use session_start(); at the beginning of this page because from what I read elsewhere there is no need to when using $_SESSION[](only when using session_register()). Now, when I click a link and go to a new page (same domain and same window) none of the $_SESSION variables are read. I just get empty when I echo $_SESSION['username'].

Splitting Multiple Pages
I'm looking for some advice and/or best practices to accomplish the following task. I have a web form that users will complete and submit to be saved to a database [php/mysql]. The problem is that I need to split up the rather large form into three separate pages. When the user submits the first section, the database will auto-generate a unique id for that row. How do I then obtain that unique id from the database on the submit, in order to pass it to the next page, in order that I insert the information from page two into the same row as the information from page 1.

Scope Over Multiple Pages
I need to preserve some values over several pages. I want the user to
enter his username, password and the IP address of the MySQL server at
the beginning of a series of pages. I want all the pages to know these
values. I want all the pages to display these values so the user can
change them or not.

The "series" of pages is an HTML page that gathers this information.
This is sent to a PHP server page. The server page may have to re-load
itself if the user chooses to re-sort the data. If I had it the way I
want it,

the username, password and IP would be gathered in the HTML
page at the beginning and be available to the server page even when it
re-loads itself. I also want the HTML page (if visited again) to
display the original values in the text boxes.

I have tried $_POST, hidden variables within forms, $GLOBAL (which I
couldn't get to work at all) and probably some other ways to do this.

Dividing Articles Into Multiple Pages?
I'm using GeekLog (modified) to have a site with articles. Some articles are large, and I would like a simple way to divide them into pages. Now there was ages since I coded any PHP, and when I did I was not exactly a master. I don't have any time to learn again, so would really appreciate any help. What I thought of, is some simple function that displays the text between some tags.

For example, if I insert this into a article: [page=1] some text [page=2] more text [page=3], you get the point. And when it displays the article it show the text between page=1 and page=2, then automatically adds a link to next page and etc. This shouldn't be so hard? Anybody would like to help me?

Session Variables Across Multiple Pages
I'm busy fiddling with sessions under PHP5, and very quickly learned
what I would have found out even sooner in the PHP manual - declaring
your session variable on page1.php makes it available on page2.php
(assuming that's the next page you load) but doesn't then make it
available on page3.php unless you respecify it on page2.php. I'm sure
there's a very good reason for it, and I know I can get around it by
using a database and the session ID, but I would really like to know:
why? I've already searched, but can't find any more information on the
issue.

Breaking Up Text For Multiple Pages
I was recently put in charge of heading up my company's website, and
while I have a lot of experience on the design side of things, I'm
still very new to the programming side. When I started, the website had
just gotten a revision, but the site was an utter mess, so I've been
trying to fix it up. As I've gone along, I've learned some aspects of
PHP, but my knowledge is still very limited.

Here is the problem I'm trying to fix. A backend is used to enter
information into our MySQL database, and then a page template pulls it
out to make the page. For our reviews, the PHP coding currently breaks
up the review's text so that it can be places across multiple pages.
The problem is, the way the text breaking was set up, the end of one
page and the beginning of the next are totally chaotic, with breaks
often coming mid-sentence.

Here is what I'd love: other coding automatically puts an HTML break at
the end of paragraphs, and then another in the space between one
paragraph and the next. I'd love to have the code search for when those
double breaks come up, and then break up the text after, say, every
sixth pair of HTML breaks. I'd also like the option to break the text
myself by putting in some sort of text code in the original text. At
this point, though, anything that can make the breaks more elegant
would be a huge improvement.

I really appreciate any help anybody can give me in this one. Please
remember that I know very little of PHP, and I'm not much of a
programmer anyhow, so things that you may take for granted that people
would understand about PHP, I might not know.

I tried to pull out what I thought was the current coding for the text
break. Here it is. I'd also like to get rid of the part1/part2 factor.
Before, they had the text breaking to help in fitting into the layout
around an image, but I've fixed that so I no longer need the break. So,
that portion no longer needs to be a factor.

if ($page == ""){
$page = 1;
}
$no_letters = strlen($Game_Full_Story);
$times = ($no_letters / 3800) +1;
$Game_Full_Story = wordwrap($Game_Full_Story,3800,"*#^");
$Game_Full_Story = explode ("*#^", $Game_Full_Story);
$pages = array();
for ($i=0; $i<$times ; $i++){
$part[$i] = $Game_Full_Story[$i];
if ($i != 0){
array_push($pages, $i);
}
}
$page = $page-1;
$story = $part[$page];
if (strlen($story) < 460){
$parts1 = $story;

$story = wordwrap($story,460,"*#^");
