passing parameter to checkdir.php

[rscl]

Hi,

One my user needs pop up & one does not.
Hence I created a small html form which asks for Need POPUP [Y/N].
The result is submitted to /fop2/index.php (I renamed index.html to index.php)

But the popup happens via an internal script call to checkdir.php

How can I pass the variable $_POST[pop_up] to checkdir.php and then to the function custom_popup($_GET)

I tried SESSION, COOKIES, GLOBAL and none seem to be working.
SESSION works, but expires if there is no call for a long time, I can increase the value of session expire to a longer duration, but I do not want to risk. COOKIES, once again, my comfort level is low.

Could not get GLOBAL to work. I followed a text book example, but some how its not working, I am sure I am missing something.

Any help is appreciated.

Thx
Sans

fop2 will not pass more variables that the ones it is already sending, and none of them is related to a user preference. You must solve your issue with using php sessions or hardcoding allowed extensions in your checkdir.php script.

You can very well store preference in a mysql table and check that table in checkdir.php. mysql will persist "forever" and you wont have the problems you are facing with php sessions.

Best regards,
