How to pass variables
Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2004 5:18 am
I am stuck with a problem for which someone may know a solution.
The issue is as follows:
1. a webpage with everything organized in a table instead of using frames.
2. A search engine, for which the input form is located in the left column.
3. Results are supposed to be shown in the 2nd column.
What I tried is to replace the php action in the form with the URL of the page in which the results are to be shown, with then in the middle column an include() of the original action of the form.
All parameters for the form are set in the form. These variables are passed on to the html page (action), but as I notie, the parameters are not given ahead to the page inside the include().
Is anyone aware of how this problem could be solved? How can parameters be given ahead to the external action "search"? Important to know is that I have no control over the search function, can not change it.
