I want to pass the variable from php page to another without using sessions.

here’s SearchCustomer.php page which have the from

<form action="controllers/Customer.controller.php" method="post">
<label for="cellPhoneNo">cell phone number</label>
    <input type="text" name="cellPhoneNo" class="textField"/>

in Customer.controller.php I search for customer and return a $result, I want to pass the variables defined in Customer.controller.php to SearchCustomer.php page which the from is submitted from without using sessions.

Answer 1

As far as I understand your problem: You want to perform the search in Customer.controller.php and immediately display the results in SearchCustomer.php, right?

Well, that smells like AJAX 🙂

Try this (using jQuery):

SearchCustomer.php

<form id="search_form" action="controllers/Customer.controller.php" method="post">
//...
</form>

<div id="output">
</div>

<script>
$('#search_form').submit(function() {
  $.post($(this).attr('action'), $(this).serialize(), function(data) {
    for(var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
      $('#output').append('field one: ' + data[i].field1 + '<br />');
    }
  }, 'json');
  return false;
});
</script>

Customer.controller.php

<?php

$cellPhoneNo = $_POST['cellPhoneNo'];
//....

//perform the search, 
//fetch the assoc-array, e.g. $results 
echo json_encode($results);

The code is untested, but you get the idea 😉
