I am trying to pass an action parameter and a variable parameter in the same header function.
Here is the code that I have written so far:
header('Location: .?action=show_edit_form, word=$word');
When I use the action parameter alone, it goes to the next page, but when I try to pass a variable along with the action parameter, it does not work.
Please advise.
& not by ,', you need "Location header requires an absolute URIThus:
header("Location: http://example.com/foo.php?action=show_edit_form&word=$word");
Unless you are certain your variable won't have special characters in it, you should make sure it is properly encoded for putting in a URL too.
header("Location: http://example.com/foo.php?action=show_edit_form&word=" . urlencode($word));
What you are doing with the header is just referring the user to another page that conforms to a normal url.
Header('Location: .?action=show_edit_form& word='.$word);
On that page you can call $_GET['word']. You may also want to urlencode your values to prevent any unforseen problems with invalid characters. Look carefully at you quotation marks inside the header function.
For Example,
Here i am trying to send the parameter id & message for the purpose of deleting record,So you
use the following code,
$Params="?action=delete&id=".$id."&mess=Deleted Sucessfully";
header("Location:company.php".$Params);
So , in the next page you will get the parameter variable as,
$action=$_GET['action'];
$id=$_GET['id'];
$message=$_GET['mess'];
Above is the format of passing multiple parameters.Hope it works...
