Hello, your last question is more than interesting. You can try the code below and just look what is happening! Seriously, If you use either $HTTP_POST_VARS or $HTTP_GET_VARS (respect to the action) 1: you can access the variable with its original name ($HTTP_POST_VARS['foo*bar'], in my example), 2: but you can't refer to it as a common global variable like : $foo*bar. 3: much more interesting with variable variables, try and see. I don't say annything ... :) <?php var_dump($HTTP_POST_VARS['foo*bar']); // example for 1 var_dump($foo*bar); // syntax error: constant bar is not defined $var= 'foo*bar'; var_dump($$var); //work around with variable variables ?> <form method=post action="<? echo $PHP_SELF ?>"> <input type="text" name="foo*bar" value='a'> <input type="submit"> </form> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christian Marschalek" <cm@xxxxxxxxx> To: "'Gyozo Papp'" <pgerzson@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "[PHP] PostgreSQL" <pgsql-php@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: 2001. május 5. 17:40 Subject: RE: [PHP] PHP calling PHP? That's excatly what I needed :) Thanks. Another one: If I have a html form an in it a text field with the a name like this: name="foo*bar" How would I refer to it in my php script? Normaly variable names have no * in them, do they?:) Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Gyozo Papp [mailto:pgerzson@xxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2001 3:33 PM > To: Christian Marschalek; [PHP] PostgreSQL > Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP calling PHP? > > > > if (! $ok ) > { > // register your variables with the current session > // in order that you are able to use it in the other page > (fillin.php) > Header("Location: fillin.php"); > exit; > } > > see header() function in the manual! > and I > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Christian Marschalek" <cm@xxxxxxxxx> > To: "[PHP] PostgreSQL" <pgsql-php@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: 2001. május 5. 14:51 > Subject: [PHP] PHP calling PHP? > > > > Hi! > > > > Let's say I want to insert some data into my db and I want > to be sure > > that the user fills out alle the requiered fields. > > > > I'm thinking of that: I want to pass the data to a PHP > script and if > > there's something missing I want to call the input PHP script again > > but this time with the already inserted data.
