It makes perfect sense... Was just trying to avoid sessions since
this application will be limited to about 10 people and restricted
to the company intranet :)
But the script is still stateless regardless of the number of people
or if it's limited to the company's intranet. In either event, when
the user moves from one page to another page, all the variables are
lost. So, you need to use sessions or cookies.
However, there is another way, but it takes a little forethought.
The technique is simply to continue the flow of a "single" script by
using includes. Here's an example:
http://www.webbytedd.com/bb/tedd/index.php
The code behind this is very simple. You simply branch to other
scripts by doing this:
ob_clean;
include('the-next-script.php");
exit();
This keeps ALL the variables intact because it acts like one large
script. -- it's not stateless and this technique works.
However, what I don't understand is why it isn't used more often?
Unless there is something here I don't understand, I believe I could
use this technique to write all the scripts I currently use without
ever using a session variable.
Cheers,
tedd
