[PHP] Help for passing variable to all pages
Hi All,
I am new to PHP and learning as I go by reading many of the tutorials
around. I have however come up against a problem that I can't seem to solve
of find any other references to.
I need to make some information available to every page and one of the
series of articles by Kevin Yank which talks about PHP and MySql seemed to
suggest how to do exactly what I wanted but I can't get it to work. His
suggestion was to do something like
I think my problem is in the ...A LINK.. bit - what exactly should go here?
I tried some code to see if it worked and this is what I did:
in login.html
DMS Login
Connection established on $dbcnx");
if (!$dbcnx) {
echo( "Unable to connect to MySql Server at this time."};
exit();
}
if (! @mysql_connect_db("DMS", $dbcnx) ) {
echo( "Unable to connect to DMS database at this time."};
exit();
}
?>
test link
First name:
Last Name:
In the welcome.php3 file I have
Today's Date
Today's date (according to this server)
What I get is on login page - the texttest linkin blue (i.e. a
link?) and the login prompts.
On the welcome page I get the firstname and lastname ok, but the other
parameter is not in the $QUERY_STRING
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?
Maybe there is a better way to have some information, that will be retrieved
from the DB available to all pages in the session. We are not actually
going to have all the users with logins to the DB - but have our own
internal table of users, password and rights information, thus the userid
form this table needs to be available to all pages.
Many Thanks in advance for your help

looks like there's a problem with this line:
test link
try using this line instead:
">test
link
looks like you were missing the end quotes and closing "bracket" of the
anchor tag
See how that goes

RE: [PHP] Help for passing variable to all pages
That's not a lot of help - its a new installation, as far as I know
everything has been done to default settings.
What can I do to check the server setup

RE: [PHP] Help for passing variable to all pages
Thanks for the suggestion but it made no difference!
I am still getting nothing through
I think its something to do with the "test link" bit - what actually should
go in here - how does it relate this to all links?

RE: [PHP] Help for passing variable to all pages
Well I tried setting the variable to a constant value and it still didn't work. What I eventually want to pass is an ID retrieved from the DB that will be needed by every page Janet -Original Message- From: Simon Willison [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 21 February 2002 2:37 To: Rick Emery Cc: 'WG4- Cook, Janet'; PHP List Subject: Re: [PHP] Help for passing variable to all pages > > >test link > You can't pass resource types like database connection IDs in URLs as they are only relevant for the instance of the script in which they are created.

[PHP] Help needed - need to access a value from DB into all pages
Hi there, I am struggling with a concept and can't seem to find a way to do it so hoping you all can help. We want to use PHP with MySql Db. For security reasons on the DB, it is to be accessed only through this front end i.e. via the internal web Each user will have a number of levels of access to various parts of the system, so the obvious design is one where there is only 1 real login to the MySQL db (i.e. the system will auto log everyone in as this without them knowing it), and then the user is validated against a table in my DB which holds the access rights. I can get through the login OK, and get my table to return "USERID" for this person. Now I need that "USERID" available to ALL other pages so I can use it to determine what parts of screens to show, and what to allow them to do. My question is how do I make this variable available to all pages?? Do I have to include it with the variables passed to each page or is there a simpler way of doing it. Can I put the variable in an include file and include it in every page - will that work?. Surely someone must have had a similar situation before and can tell me how they solved it.

[PHP] Help needed with Sessions
Hi all,
I am trying to get sessions to work to use to pass some data around, but the
values do not seem to be coming through - I've probably got something basic
wrong
PHP version is 4.0.4pl1
sources are
validate.php
Today's Date
Connection established on $dbcnx");
if (!$dbcnx) {
echo( "Unable to connect to MySql Server at this time.");
exit();
}
else
{ echo ("Connected to My Sql Server on connection $dbcnx.");
};
if (! mysql_select_db("DMS", $dbcnx)) {
echo( "Unable to connect to DMS database at this time.");
exit();
}
else
{ echo( "Established connection to DMS db");
};
$whoid=10;
?>
testlink
and in jtest.php I have
The connection establishes, but the values do not appear to be there in the
jtest page?
Any ideas
Thanks

[PHP] Basic help for radio buttons needed
Hi all, I am sure this is a very simple question, but after reading reams of doco I still can't find the answer. I am very new to PHP and HTML coding. I have a form (html) that uses radio buttons that goes to some PHP code - how in the PHP code can I tell which radio button was selected? My HTML code (which is inside another PHP page) is as follows Add new user Change User password Delete User Add new document I have tried various things in admin.php but nothing gives me which radio button was selected.

Thanks for the reference, but it still doesn't work for me. I now have
Add new user
Change
User password
Delete User
Add new
document
and in admin.php
");
echo (" submit = $submit ");
echo ("select = $select ");
$myval = $_POST['admin_do'];
echo (" value is $myval ");
echo (" admin_do is $admin_do ");
echo $HTTP_POST_VARS['admin_do'];
for ($i=0; $i <5; $i++)
{
echo (" counter = $i value is $admin[$i] ");
};
?>
the only value I get is the $admin_do which has the value "Array" - not much

Any Ideas?

Thanks Matt, I've got it working now - there must be another admin_do[] somewhere - I changed it to adm_do and it worked!

That will help you greatly. Also you could print_r($HTTP_POST_VARS) and see whats there. If you are getting an array, then you have something in the form you're not showing us, such as admin_do[]. If you have register_globals off, you can't use references to $submit, you must either use $_POST['submit'] or $HTTP_POST_VARS['submit'], where 'submit' is the field name in the form that you are interested in at the time. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Persistent Links help needed
Hi All, I have multiple PHP pages and make my connection to the MySQl db in one of these pages. When I go to the next one any mysql commands seem not to work - it look like the connection to the DB is lost! I have a feeling this is to do with persistent connections so here is the relevant parts of the phpinfo() output. My question is - what do I have to set and how do I do it so the connection remains or do I have to reconnect in every php file??
