Re: Using POST to pass variables

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Except this passes the "message" in the URL. Is there a way to pass variables as a POST (not in the URL)?

I have a class that creates a new socket, however on my client's shared server, the creation of sockets is not allowed. With a new socket, I am able to pass the variable information via the socket (POST).

When I have more than one button on a page, I us what I call a reentrant
approach.  That is the page calls itself.

If the page is emailer.pgp, the the FORM tag would be

<form method="get" action="emailer.php">

At the top is

<?php
   $send    = $_GET[btnSend];  // Send button pressed
   $cancel  = $_GET[btnCancel];// Cancel is pressed
   $message = $_GET[message];
   if ($send) {
     header("location: send.php?message=" . $message);
   }
   if ($cancel) {
     header("location: index.php");
   }
?>

Is there a better way to do this so I can use a POST form?

Thank you...

What about:

<form method="post" action="emailer.php">

and

if (isset($_POST['send']) ) {
  # do some sanitising on $_POST['message'] here
  header("location: http://f.q.d.n/path/to/send.php?message="; .
$_POST['message']);
}
exit();

if (isset($_POST['cancel']) ) {
   header("location: http://f.q.d.n/path/to/index.php";);
}

Add other sanity checks as required.


Cheers
