Aloha,
I am using Apache on my laptop to emulate my online database and
site and wondering about 2 things:
1 - I'm not able to pass variables between pages in PHP
e.g. On page1.php I have a field named in_company, which, on the
website my client is hosted from passes into the next page as $in_company.
But on my self-configured Apache/PHP/MySQL laptop setup, the variables
come up as undefined on the follwing page. The queries with MySQL work
nicely, but not without variable passing. I don't like to append on to
the URL as some vars I like to keep low profile.
e.g.
http://www.mysite.com?var_0=5&var_1=sometext&var_2=morestuff&etc=more
Hopefully someone gets the picture here. How do I configure my PHP.INI
file on my laptop to pass the vars? Or how do I configure Apache to pass
the vars if that is where the problem is? Which leads to my next
problem...
2 - I want to configure PHP on Apache as a module and not as an
executable. Everytime I try to configure according to the instructions
the Server returns a message that it fails to load. So I set it up as an
executable and it works fine, but I really want the module setup as I
prefer professionalism and just want to be "enabled" in installing
modules.
Also, according to the PHP install file, they (PHP guys) refer to it as
suicidal. Not pretty...
(SIDENOTE: I am using Windoze 2000 platform, fyi)
Thanks for any and all help. I'm a convert from lower level programming(C
and Assembly) and find PHP easy and practical as hell for website
programming. And dammit, it's fun!
Thanks again.
Scott
