Hi,
I have retrieved 4 values from database. Out of which 3 are
displayed on the
same page and one variable, which is email address, needs to be
carried to
the next page through a hyper link, the next page is actually a web
form. I
can do this by either transferring that variable through query
string or
through session.
Now the next page which is a web form is connected to a file that
sends
email using php email functionality.
The problem I am having is just sending this $email variable from
page one
to the web form. Once it reaches the web form, I need to again pass
it to
the file that has php email functionality. How to send the variable
across
these pages.
I tried:
On Page 1:
<?
$query="SELECT val1, val2, val3, email FROM table WHERE no= '$no'";
$result=mysql_query($query);
$num=mysql_numrows($result);
mysql_close();
$1=mysql_result($result,$i,"1");
$2=mysql_result($result,$i,"2");
$3=mysql_result($result,$i,"3");
$email=mysql_result($result,$i,"email");
session_start();
session_register ("tamma");
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS ["tamma"] = $email;
?>
On the webform:
<?
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS ["email"] = $email;
?>
on the php email page it's like this:
<?
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
$emailid = $_REQUEST['emailid'] ;
$subject = $_REQUEST['subject'] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
mail( $email, $name, $message, "From: $emailid" );
header( "Location: thankYouContact.php" );
?>
Please advice a work around for this if I am doing it wrong. I know
I am.
On the page that generates your webform:
<input name="email" type="text" value="<?php $HTTP_SESSION_VARS
['tamma'] ?>">
Also, changing to using the $_SESSION superglobal array instead of
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS will save you a bit of typing.
