Linking Using Php

« on: November 01, 2009, 12:54 AM »

please can php variables be transfered from one page to another not in forms? eg

index.php
<?php
$name = "yaro dan baba";
$surname = "dan yaro";
<html>
<body>
<a href="friends.php"><?php echo "$name";?></a>
</body>
</head>

?>

when the $name is clicked it leads to friends.php and on the friends.php page a new variable is declared but with same value as $surname
friends.php
<?php

$re = $surname; //or so am not so sure how this is done please this is where i am stuck

just like the $_POST or $_GET for forms i want to try the one for hyperlinks please

<a href="friends.php?surname=<?php echo $surname;?>"><?php echo $name;?></a>

Also, u might wanna get rid of the spaces between the words in those variables. You could either replace the spaces with hyphens or underscores or assign each word to a separate variable, attach them to the hyperlink like so:

<a href="friends.php?surname1=<?php echo $surname1;?>&surname2=<?php echo $surname2;?>">
<?php echo $name;?>
</a>

then on the friends.php page, you concatenate the variables. Good luck!

no yawa.

By the way, You will have to use $_GET on the friends.php page, since you are getting the values passed via url. There's no escaping that. It doesn't apply to only forms. Also, personally, I prefer $_REQUEST, which covers both POST and GET, to using either-or.

good luck!
