[thelist] Passing data in HTML

[Paul Bennett]

Passing data?

$_GET (default form action) will pass data in the query string (eg: pypage.html?stuff=1&this=2)
Data is accessible in the receiving script by referencing the $_GET array


$_POST <form action="post"...> will pass data errr...not in the query string and is accessible in the  
receiving script by referencing the $_POST array

For persistent use, SESSION data is your friend. Set session vars by using $_SESSION['myvar'] = $someValue.

Hopefully it's like riding a bike and after a while it'll all start coming back to ya!

Hi all,

I am just now getting back into web design after a 2 year lay off  so I am 
having trouble remembering how to do things. I need to pass about 4 to 8 
pieces of information between two pages. I need to allow them to enter on 
one page and then use that info on any number of  several forms.  The first 
page looks something like this.



PLEASE ENTER STUFF BELOW:
Item One:
.
Item Last:

PLEASE SELECT FORM(S) BELOW
Form 1
.
Form Last



Each form opens a new window. All of the items are in text boxes. I use PHP 
in Dreamweaver 8.

Please help.

Ken
