Help with passing variables to another php script

Hello!

I need some help about passing variables to another php script.
In the script A i receive the variable called menu and i show it to confirm its value
$menu = $_POST["menu"];

echo 'You selected ' .$menu. '</br>';

My problem is that in this script A i have a form the users fill to continue navigating through the site, and they have to select another options , and they will be directed to another script, script B.

Something like this ...

echo '<form action="scriptB.php?nombre_tabla=$menu" method="post">';

i know it doesn´t work, but i want to pass the variable menu to script B so i can use it in another functions

¿How can i do it?
¿How can i recover the variable´s value in script B?

Any help will be well received

You can probably retreive it through $_GET as it will be passed in the url.

A better method, however, would be to put a hidden form element in your form containing that value.

<input type="hidden" name="nombre_tabla" value="$menu">

 

Might want to look into using a session to use data across all the pages in your application.

 

Thank you for your help
I´ll try both solutions

Thanks again

The hidden solution does not work, because if i put :

echo '<input type="hidden" name="nombre_tabla" value="$menu" >';

as you´ve told me , i receive, in script B

Seleccionaste el campo identificador de la tabla $menu and not the value of the variable

¿Can you help me please?

It works now

the solution was

echo '<input type="hidden" name="nombre_tabla" value='.$menu.'>';

 

thank you all forums
