keeB Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Well.. the short answer is because you're not POST'ing any data from "processform.php" to name.php.Let's modify those 2 files really quick..[code]<!--processform.php-->$uname = $_POST['username'];<p>Welcome <nbsp;><?php echo($uname);?>!</P><br><br><a target="_new" href="name.php?name=<?php echo($uname); ?>" >Show Name</a>[/code]annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd..[code]<!--name.php-->$uname = $_GET['name'];<html><body><p>Applicant : <?php echo($uname);?></p>[/code]So let's look at the changes..In the first file.. we have data POSTed from the previous page, and we take that data and add it to the URL of the link we're making. Data added to the URL after the .php? mark are referred to by the $_GET[]; array..I hope this makes sense.. if you are confused about any part, please don't hesitate to ask. :) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/5005-sharing-variables-between-scripts/#findComment-17712 Share on other sites More sharing options...
