passing the POST to a php file

[toufik toufik]

Hi,
I've an HTML form (contains 2 controls: input1 and input2) that call a php
file (file1.php) using the post method.
I need to call (from file1.php) another php file file2.php and pass the POST
information to it so I can get the information in the $_POST array in
file2.php.
How can I do it?

Thanks.

Search PHP.net for sessions. Use the $_SESSION array.

Thats actually available through the $GLOBALS['HTTP_POST_VARS '] array.

If you have an input thing called 'input1', and another called 'input2',
say something like:

<input type="textarea" name="input1" />

Then, you should be able to retrieve the contents of input1 by calling

$_POST['input1']

So, something like:

<?
echo $_POST['input1'];
?>

Re: passing the POST to a php file

At the end of file1.php, you can do a redirect to
file2.php and attach the post variables as GET variables.

<? header ("Location: file2.php?var1= ".$var1."&var2= ".$var2); ?>

Hope this helps.
