Pass php variable to another php page

Question

Is it possible to pass my unique $comment->comment_id; to another php file? I want to have the same id for the li for that input button. when is clicked I want to pass the variable to the php "/model/editComment.php".

<div class="comment-buttons-holder">
    <ul class="comment-buttons-holder-ul">
        <li id="<?php $comment->comment_id; ?>" class="edit-btn">
            <form action ="/model/editComment.php" method="POST">
            <input>" type="submit" value="edit">
            </form>
        </li>
    </ul

Blockquote

</div>

Using POST

You've got a form. Use a hidden input.

<input type="hidden" name="comment_id" value="<?php echo $comment->comment_id; ?>" />

On your editCommit.php page, you would;

$intCommentId = (isset($_POST['comment_id']) AND ctype_digit( (string) $_POST['comment_id'] )) ? (int) $_POST['comment_id'] : 0;

Using GET

Append it to the action url in the query string.

<form action="/model/editComment.php?id=<?php echo $comment->comment_id; ?>"

On your editCommit.php page, you would;

$intCommentId = (isset($_GET['id']) AND ctype_digit( (string) $_GET['id'] )) ? (int) $_GET['id'] : 0;

Awesome. Glad I could help. The way StackOverflow works is, once you've received an answer that has helped and solved your problem, mark it as accepted so it will help others in the future, should they have the same issue.

Use

<input type="hidden" name="commentId" value="<?php echo $comment->comment_id; ?>">

inside your form to pass a value without showing it to the user.

P.S.:

<input>" type="submit" value="edit">

seems to be false, try:

<input type="submit" value="edit">

And i suggest you to add a name to an input, if it has a value.

to

<form action ="/model/editComment.php?cid=<?php echo $comment->comment_id; ?>" method="POST">
