Question

I have an index.php for registration, a login.php as the registration handler. when the registration is failed, it sent out the error message to client. I use this code for sending out the message

header('Location: http://localhost/musicshare/index.php?reg=false');

and receive in index.php

if(isset($_POST['reg'])){
        echo 'set';//for checking whether reg is set
        if($_POST['reg']=='false'){
            echo '<script type="text/javascript">';
            echo 'alert("Reg faile")';
            echo '</script>';
        }
    }

However, It seems not working at all; Please help, thanks.

Use $_GET instead of $_POST:

if (isset($_GET['reg']) && $_GET['reg'] == 'false'){
   // do something
}

When you use a header() it fires a GET request.

So you should use $_GET['reg']

if(isset($_GET['reg'])){
    echo 'set';//for checking whether reg is set
    if($_GET['reg']=='false'){
        echo '<script type="text/javascript">';
        echo 'alert("Reg faile")';
        echo '</script>';
    }
}
