Question

I’m just starting with PHP. Working currently on simple message display system.

If I have following statement in one file PageWithMessages.php:

<span class="msg">
    <?php 
        if( $tableChange == true ) { echo "Table saved. ";}
        else if ( $rowChange == true ) { echo "Record saved. ";}
        else if ( $rowDelete == true ) { echo "Record deleted. ";}
        else if ( $rowNew == true ) { echo "New record created. ";}
    ?>
</span> 

How can I pass the information of that variable (e.g. $rowNew = true ) with following exiting statement from another file?

if($result) {
    header("location: PageWithMessages.php");
            // set $variable = true ??
    exit();
} else {
    die("Query failed");
}

Any suggestion much appreciated.

If I understand your question correctly:

if($result) {
    header("location: PageWithMessages.php?var=1");
    exit();
}else {
    die("Query failed");
}

then on PageWithMessage.php:

$var = (isset($_GET['var'])?true:false); // will be true
