$_get

[battye]

I have a variable on page 1, $page. On page 2 I want to read that $page.

I have tried $HTTP_GET_VARS[$page]; and $_GET[$page]; but neither bring in a result. Do I need to do something to $page first so I can transfer it?

Thanks

your url must like this "http://www.abc.com/index.php?page=1"
then you do this in "index.php":

echo $_GET["page"];//print "1" 

the query string is page=1
and page is one of the $_GET array keys

[battye]

it's not in a url though... it was originally. on quiz.php i have ...page=1 page=2 etc so i use

if(isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['page']))
{
$page = intval($HTTP_GET_VARS['page']);
}

to get that one, this is on testviewq.php
on quizzer.php i need to get $page, because that has the number required to get info from the database.

How do you go from one page to another?

If it is an include/require, then there is no need for $_GET. The variable should already be known and have it's value.

If it is through a link the user has to click, then you must put the variable in the url as explained by shenkong.

Clicking submit will take you to quizzer.php

i have tried include but I get a page full of errors

Have you been able to access any other variables from your form? Can you show us your code?

[shenkong]

Use $_POST when you submit a form, use $_GET to get the URL queries

[guido2004]

If $page ain't a field of the form, you might add it as a hidden field.

Adding the hidden field, since you're using the method "post", you must use $_POST instead of $_GET on the receiving page.

That's quizzer.php the file I want to echo the $page in.
