RE: [PHP] Passing variables to page via POST - How?

Second, are you going from an HTML form to PHP or PHP to a script? The reason I'm asking is I just did something similar to this. I had to pull a half-dozen variables out of an LMS system with CMI calls and then pass them to a PHP page. What I did was load a blank page, pull the variables I needed out of the system, then javascript post them to the PHP page. It gives a bit of a delay for the user, but it works. (javascript.htm) <html> <head><title></title></head> <body> <form action="http://my.php.script" method="post" name="myForm"> <input type="hidden" name="variable1"> <input type="hidden" name="variable2"> </form> <!-- Notice there's no submit button --> <script language="JavaScript"> loadvariables(); document.myForm.variable1.value = loadedVariable1; document.myForm.variable2.value = loadedVariable2; document.myForm.variable1.submit(); <!-- after loading the variables, javascript submits the form to the php --> </script> </body> </html>
