Hi

I have a couple of php file that run separately, but I want to make them work together, how can I get the $val1 value from file1 to file2 so that $val1 can be used in the the second file?

There are methods:
1) if they link to eachother, by the link, add "?var=value" to the other filename
2) if same user uses them both, store in a session variable
3) store value in a file on disk
4) store value in a database
and there are maybe even more

the simple way is store the value on database, you need to
1. create database
2. create table
3. store the value

for get the value you can use SELECT mysql :)
good luck

how do I link them each other?var=value"

[Orjan]

just a link:

echo "<a href='file2.php?var=".$valuetosend."'>link to page 2</a>";

then read it in file2 with $_GET['var']

I want to use this to search a data base but it is very confusing because I have several problems.
