PHP files and header

Raggaer · Aug 16, 2012

Hi, I have a big problem

PHP:

<form action="index.php" method="post">

Using this , this code executes

PHP:

if ($_POST['submit']) {
					
					$rules = $_POST['rules'];
					$title = $_POST['title'];
					$body = $_POST['body'];
					$date = date("Y-m-d");	
					
					
					if ($title && $body) {
						
						
						if ($rules == 'on') {
							
							$filename = 'w'.$title.'.txt';
							$handle = fopen('pastes/'.$filename, 'w');
							fwrite($handle, $body);
							fclose($handle);
							$query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO codes VALUES ('','$title','$body','$date')");
							
							
							
						
							
						} else {
							
							echo '<b>Accept our rules</b>';
						}
				
					} else {
						
						echo '<b>Fill all fields</b>';
					}
				}

But I need that when u click submit you get to new page so I use this

PHP:

<form action="see.php" method="post">

but then the code doestn execute ;S dont know why

Thanks

Use this below the MySQL query, but make sure no HTML was printed prior to it.

PHP:

header('Location: see.php');
exit;

Just place that specific piece of php code above the html.

Dont work in see.php I should have this

PHP:

 <?PHP
			
$title = $_POST['title'];
echo '<b>'.$title.'</b>';
?>

But the code doesnt get the $_POST vars :S

Chris · Aug 17, 2012

Ah, you want to be able to use the values in see.php as well? Well, you have a few options...

1) Pass the values by the url, e.g. header("Location: see.php?title={$title}");

2) Store the values in a session and then destroy that session after you've used it in see.php

3) Move the php code (mysql query etc.) to see.php

Raggaer · Aug 17, 2012

That worked(sessions) now, last question, why Im getting array in this echo,

PHP:

$id = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM codes ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1");
							
while($roww = mysql_fetch_assoc($id)) {
							
$_SESSION['id'] = $roww;	
								
}

Then I display it here

PHP:

echo '<b>'.$_SESSION['id'].'</b>';

Thanks

PHP:

$_SESSION['id']['fieldname_from_db_here'];

Raggaer · Aug 17, 2012

Worked, thanks but why for the other values didnt need to use it?

Chris · Aug 17, 2012

Where you echo it (id is the name of the session, which in turn contains an array of all the database fields from the query).

PHP:

echo '<b>' . $_SESSION['id']['column_field_from_db'] . '</b>';
