Use of session variables to pass variables through pages using php

0 votes
415 views

I want to use session to pass variables through pages using php.
Site structure is:
1. header.php
2. column.php
3. footer.php
4. index.php
Pages 1, 2 & 3 are included into the index.php.

In header.php page, there is a drop down, in which links(cities) are placed where users will select city.
Now, I want to do code to store selected values into a variable and pass to multiple pages.

Please help on this..

You can try session variable in the following way -

//On page 1
session_start();
...
...
$_SESSION['varname'] = $var_value;

//On page 2
session_start();
...
...
$var_value = $_SESSION['varname'];

I would like to make a timeout length to session variables, so that if a user didn't use the browser page for let's say 5 minutes - the session variables would expire and the user would need to login again.

Q: What's the best way to implement this functionality?

PHP: Is there a way to combine current active user in class with session variables for multiple use?

I have a question about using a php user class and session variables. Let's say that I have managed to create a user class that finds a particular person from the database query.

As I move about the site from page to page it would be nice to be able to use the current user inside the user class without needing to re – look them up in the database multiple times

Q: so is there a way to combine the current active user in the class with session variables so that they can be used multiple times? If so, how would this work?

How to read static variables in child-classes (using PHP)?

Why I can't read static variables of a child class, even so the variable is protected or public?

Here's what I tried:

class A {
 protected static $foo = "bar";
}

class B {
 public function readFoo() {
 return self::$foo;
 }
}

When now calling B::readFoo, I get the following error:

var_dump((new B())->readFoo());

PHP Fatal error: Access to undeclared static property: B::$foo in php shell code on line 1
PHP Stack trace:
PHP 1. {main}() php shell code:0
PHP 2. B->readFoo() php shell code:1

Fatal error: Access to undeclared static property: B::$foo in php shell
