How to pass variable to next page using php

0 votes

Say in the first page I create a variable

$myVariable = "Some text";

And the form's action for that page is "Page2.php". So in Page2.php, how can I have access to that variable? I know I can do it with sessions but I think it's too much for a simple string, and I do only need to pass a simple string (a file name).

How can I achieve this?

Hello @kartik,

You can add the variable in the link to the next page:

<a href="page2.php?varname=<?php echo $var_value ?>">Page2</a>

This will create a GET variable.

Another way is to include a hidden field in a form that submits to page two:

<form method="get" action="page2.php">
    <input type="hidden" name="varname" value="var_value">
    <input type="submit">
</form>

And then on page two:

//Using GET
$var_value = $_GET['varname'];

//Using POST
$var_value = $_POST['varname'];

//Using GET, POST or COOKIE.
$var_value = $_REQUEST['varname'];

Just change the method for the form to post if you want to do it via post. Both are equally insecure, although GET is easier to hack.

Hope it helps!!
Thank you!!

Simply use Sessions my friend

Page1:

session_start();
$_SESSION['message'] = "Some message"

Page2:

session_start();
var_dump($_SESSION['message']);
