    Hello,

    I am trying to fwrite a new page with php code in it. The content variable is called $verbage. However, on the new page the $table comes through as blank. How can I code this so it shows the code on the new page??


    $verbage="
    <?php
    require(\"connectdb.inc.php\");
    $table=\"webpagetable\";
    ?>"

    Regards,
    Matt

    I found that this works
    <?PHP
$verbage="
<?php
require(\"connectdb.inc.php\");
\$table=\"webpagetable\";
?>";
echo $verbage;
?>
    Code (markup):
    The difference is I escape the $ so that it doesn't try to show the value of $table and just takes $table as a string.

    I have another question. I have an html form posting to a php page. The value is pulled using the post method. How do I put a posted value into the content that's posted into the new page?

    ......$webinfo7=$_POST['Email'];.......

    $content="
    <?php
    require(\"connectdb.inc.php\");
    \$table=\"webpagetable\";

    \$sql = \"SELECT * FROM webpagetable
    WHERE Email = $webinfo7 \";
    \$result = mysql_query(\$sql,\$connection) or die(\"Couldn't execute query.\");......

    I cannot figure out how to bring the $webinfo7 variable into the new php page. Any help?

    Thanks,
    Matt

    So you want to bring the $webinfo7 to another page.. Honestly Im not great in PHP, but how about creating a session.....


    session_start(); // initialize session

    $_SESSION['webinfo7'] = $webinfo7; // pass the value of webinfo7 to sessionname: webinfo7


    <-------- on the newpage.php ----->

    echo $_SESSION['webinfo7']; //




    I guess this will works..

    Cheers!
