Variables!!

[bionics]

Hello
I am trying to pass variables accross several pages so as i can access ALL the variables in a final script. How is this achieved?

Any suggestions please?

ThankYou

you could either use global variables, session variables, or pass them using the GET method with a query string in the URL

im pretty sure you could use external php files but that would probably make things more complicated. for example:

Code: Select all

<?php
$filename="name of file here";
$vars=fopen($filename, "r");
fread($vars, filesize($filename));
?>

and then go from there

Theres a reason global variables were invented

lol.... i thought of another way though too.


This is your document with the variables you want to use. Save it titled "whatever.inc"

Code: Select all

<?php
$variable_one="blah";
$variable_two="blah, blah";
?>

In your main document just include this:

Code: Select all

<?php
include("whatever.inc");
?>

Yes. Global variables are the way to go. You can also store the variables and include them in all your PHP files.
