[PHP] Passing variables to a PHP script on clicking a hyperlink
Hello, How can I pass variables on clicking a hyperlink to a PHP script? I have 5 hyperlinks, all pointing to the same PHP script. However, on clicking each hyperlink a different value of the variable needs to be passed to the PHP script. i.e. I have 5 databases from which I want to obtain information, however the information should be displayed only when the user clicks on the hyperlink for that database. How can I pass the database name to the PHP script? How would the script know which database to get information from? I am new to PHP so any help would be greatly appreciated. I hope my question is clear.

Thank you all for the help. I did not want to use dropdown box..that was the very reason i was wondering if I can pass the variables through a hyperlink. I used $_GET and it worked fine. However, as mentioned in the posts its not advisable to use $_REQUEST. Could you please elaborate on the reason? This brings me to another question I have registered a variable as a session variable so that I can use it on any page during that session. HOwever, this was not working when I first tried it. I read somewhere that I need to enable register_globals. On doing so, it worked and I could access my session variable on any other page. Is this wrong? Is there an alternative? Please suggest. - suamya > On 8/24/07, Goltsios Theodore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> the posted or got option buy using the $_REQUEST array ($_GET and $_POST >> are >> included in that like a less lame solution).

[PHP] Sending multiple values from a form having same field names.
Hi,
How can I send multiple values from a form to be stored in a database, as
name of the fields is the same?
For example:
";
}
elseif ($datatype=="textarea") {
echo "";
}
echo "";
}
?>
This creates a form with field names and text box or textarea box next to
each field name depending on the datatype. After the user enters the
values in the text or textarea and clicks submit, the values should get
stored in a database. But what is happening is that only the value entered
in the last field of the form is getting entered into the database.
This code is embedded in an application which is having an inbuilt
structure of taking the values from a form in a hash. Since key is the
same (i.e. field_id) everytime, the value gets overwritten and only the
last value gets stored in db. But I am not able to work out a solution for
this.
I hope I am able to make my problem clear enough.
Thanks,
Suamya.

Re: [PHP] Sending multiple values from a form having same field names.
Hi,
Thanks all for the help.
I suffixed all the field names in the form with field id, like
name=field_name_fieldid and fetched it as an associative array.
Thanks,
Suamya

[PHP] Unzipping file through PHP
Hi,
I am writing a code to upload multiple files on the server using PHP. I
zipped the folder containing these files, uploaded the zipped file through
my application on the server. Now,I am trying to unzip the .zip file using
PHP. I tried it in different ways using:
1. `unzip filename.zip`
2. system ("unzip filename.zip")
3. system (`unzip filename.zip`)
but it doesnt seem to work. However, the same commands work from command
line. anybody has any ideas what might be wrong here?
Thanks,
Suamya.
