Posting to PHP Modules

[cosmicsafari]

Hey all,

Im in the process of trying to add a search option to my website, I was hoping to post the parameters from my webform to a php module ie.

action="view.php?module=search"

is this even possible?

Thanks in advance :happysad:

I'm not sure what you're asking.
If the module is installed, it should work by default...

However, if you're trying to pass parameters to your PHP script, you can use the GET commands.

In which case, you could do the following:

if (isset($_GET['action']))
$action = $_GET['action'];

if (isset($_GET['module']))
$module = $_GET['module'];

Then if somebody accesses that page via the URL myscript.php?action=view&module=search
then the values for $action and $module will become 'view' and 'search'.
I do not recommend using 'view.php', then including that file (or w/e).
Use the following instead:

if (!file_exists("pages/$action.php"))
$action = '404';

require_once ("pages/$action.php");
