i have an if else situation wherein if a user registers with a name
that is already available in the database i redirect them to
duplicateuser.php or else redirect to thankyou.php
presently i am able to pass value of a variable $username as part of
the url and i am able to read using GET by doing so the value
appears in the browser address bar and i would like to use hidden
and also be able to read this value
following is the code i am presently using
if($usernamerows > 0)
{
header("Location: duplicateuser.php? duplicateuser=".$username);
}
else
{
header("Location: thankyou.php?fname=".$fname);
}
how can i use hidden so that the url does not get appended in the
address bar and still the read the value of the variables i want to
pass and how should i read the variables in the other pages, is it
$_POST[]
i tried using this code just before the header() statement but it
does not work and i get an error.
echo "<input type ='hidden' name='duplicateuser' value='$username'>";
echo "<input type ='hidden' name='fname' value='$fname'>";
please advice.
thanks.
