Simple PHP question on Post Get

Hey Guys here is my problem
First site with 1 text field form. e.g http://xxx.com/mainform/index.php
I've site e.g http://abc.com/index.php and I iframed http://xxx.com/mainform/index.php on http://abc.com/page2.php

I've a text field on http://abc.com/index.php too, where i can put in any text(Example ITYPETHIS). The submit button will bring me to page2.php. My aim is that after i click submit, i want 'ITYPETHIS' to be shown on the field at http://xxx.com/mainform/index.php, which is being iframed on page2.php

I can simply do this with post get, IF they're on the same server/host. My the problem is they're hosted at different place.

Any good suggestion?

 

You can still use $_GET;

Example, on http://abc.com/index.php have:

<form action="http://xxx.com/mainform/index.php" method="get">
Text: <input type="text" name="text" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

Code (markup):

And then on http://xxx.com/mainform/index.php, have:

<?php echo $_GET["text"]; ?>

PHP:

If i enter 'ITYPETHIS' on http://abc.com/index.php and click submit, It will display 'ITYPETHIS' on http://xxx.com/mainform/index.php ...

If you wanted that to be displayed within a field value, you can echo $_GET["text"] within the value of the input tag on http://xxx.com/mainform/index.php.

 

For some reason, I've to use method="post" on abc.com. Does it works the same too?

 

man u're kidding me. I knew this won't work. You're a novice too LOL

 

Read -> http://www.weberdev.com/get_example-3859.html

$_POST is different to $_GET.

The example i gave is using $_GET, the reason for this is because $_GET passes the submitted values via the url.

Whereas $_POST doesn't, theirfore i used $_GET in this occasion because the site your submitting to is'nt on the same site.

So your problem is your using $_POST instead of $_GET, follow my example.

 

You need to change your iframe url...

soemthing like

<iframe url="http://xxx.com/mainform/index.php?name=<?php echo $_GET['name']; ?>"></iframe>

Code (markup):

Ofcourse, if its for POST request , you need to do it differently. If you want for POST, then reframe your question.

 

Ok I need a solution for POST and danx10 method doesn't work

 

You're not very nice to people who try to help you...

For POST it would be something like this:

<iframe url="http://xxx.com/mainform/index.php?name=<?php echo $_POST['name']; ?>"></iframe>

Code (markup):

If you can't figure out what to do then read some tutorials or something..

 

Thanks. But looking at it. I;m sure u know it would not work :s

<?php echo $_POST['name']; ?> is from server 1, how does server 2 know what it contains?

 

Well of course you would have to call it using $_GET['name'] on server 2. If you're asking how to get post values into an iFrame, you could try to make a new file and use curl to send the post values that way and then link that file into the iframe. Look up curl..
