nathansizemore Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Hello all! I cannot seem to figure out a way to pass an object from one page to another. Now, my flow may be way off, and if it is, please do advise. I want to have a form for username/password log in. When the submit button is hit, it takes those values, finds the matching user in the database, and returns the user object. We'll call him user_object Now, I want to bring up another page, that allows user_object to enter in additional information (Event details). After it does this, it writes those Event Objects into the database. My problem is: I need the ID Object attached to user_object while inserting the Event Objects into the database. The user_object and Event Objects values are assigned from two separate forms and two separate submit buttons. How do I pass this information? I don't want to use session because I have a lot of objects and do not want to serialize and unserialize all the time. I also read that $_GET is a security risk. Thanks in advance for any help! This is the basic logic of the code I am trying: <html form whatevs post> <php object_one if (creds_match) { build_object from db } else "Wrong info, dude" ?></endhtml stuffs> <html form whatevs post> <php object_two if (post!empty) { object_two = poststuff } assign object_two object_one's _id insert object_two into db ?></endhtml stuff> How do I keep the values assigned in section one, and send them or be able to use that same variable in section 2?

MMDE Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 login.php: <?php if(isset($_GET['login'])){ echo 'Unable to log you in with the given username and password combination.<br/>'; } echo '<form action="loggedin.php" method="post"> username: <input type="text" name="username" /><br/> password: <input type="password" name="password" /><br/> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" /> </form>'; ?> loggedin.php: <?php $logged_in = false; if(!empty($_POST['username']) && !empty($_POST['password'])){ // check if logged in $logged_in = true; echo 'logged in as:<br/>'; echo 'username: '.$_POST['username'].'<br/>'; echo 'password: '.$_POST['password'].'<br/>'; } if(!$logged_in){ echo '<script type="text/javascript"> <!-- window.location = "login.php?login=error" //--> </script>'; // you may also use this, but no html must be sent to the browser before this for the redirect to work // header('Location: login.php?login=error'); } ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
