Question

I am using PHP 5.3 without frameworks.

How can I pass values from a PHP file to another PHP or HTML or Javascript File?

Using $_POST I can do it but how to pass values without Form?

• PHP to PHP

  With cURL

          $url = 'http://domain.com/get-post.php';
      $fields = array(
                  'lname'=>urlencode($last_name),
                  'fname'=>urlencode($first_name),
                  'title'=>urlencode($title),
                  'company'=>urlencode($institution),
                  'age'=>urlencode($age),
                  'email'=>urlencode($email),
                  'phone'=>urlencode($phone)
              );
  
      //url-ify the data for the POST
      foreach($fields as $key=>$value) { $fields_string .= $key.'='.$value.'&'; }
      rtrim($fields_string,'&');
  
      //open connection
      $ch = curl_init();
  
      //set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
      curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
      curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,count($fields));
      curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$fields_string);
  
      //execute post
      $result = curl_exec($ch);
  
      //close connection
      curl_close($ch);
  

• PHP to HTML

  echo (since html is client-side, assuming it’s your html and you’re not scraping or injecting)

• PHP to JS

  Same as PHP to HTML
