[PHP] newbie question about one php script passing control to another
Hello. I am new to php programming, but have spent many years programming in many other languages, most recently perl (with which php seems to have much in common!). In every other language I've worked with there is a way for one program to pass control to another. However, so far in all of the books and other documentation I've looked at for php, I cannot find a way for one php program to pass control to another. Is this possible in php, and, if so, please let me know how. Thank you.

RE: [PHP] newbie question about one php script passing control to another
Im not sure I understand the question.
Pass control from index.php to welcome.php ???
index.php : ? echo form action=welcome.php method=postinput type=hidden
name=tagme value=yesinput type=submit value='Continue'/form; ?
welcome.php ? if($_POST['tagme'] == yes){
echo Congrats you are there;}ELSE{echo You failed;}
?
That kind of pass control?

Re: [PHP] newbie question about one php script passing control to another
Yes, let me try to say more about exactly what I'm trying to do. I have
a php script running in a browser window (opened specifically for this
purpose) in which the user keys a blog item, then hits 'submit.' After
this script has successfully added the new blog item to the database,
what I'd like to do is automatically close this window, and pass control
to the php script that displays the updated list of blog items (with of
course the newly added blog item) in the original browser window (the
window the user was looking at when s/he clicked on the 'Add a blog'
link).

That would be more of a JavaScript issue, really. Have the user click a link to refresh the parent and close the child. On a different note, you probably got made fun of pretty often for you name (especially last-name-first), eh? My father's name was Dick --- no joke. Yeah he got hell all the time. ;-P -- /Daniel P.

This may be what you are looking for:
include('next_program');
exit();
If you do this, you have to keep in mind that all the variables you set
in the first program are *still* set in the second.
This is useful when your first program needs to choose which of two or
more programs to run next depending on its calculations. For example, if
your first program does error checking then it might want to run an
all_ok program or an edit program.
