Passing variables from a PHP page to an ASP page?

FayeC

Here's a question for you:
I have a site using a PHP CMS and I need it to use an ASP module from
another site but I would like to use a frame so it looks like it is
still in the same site.
I need to pass a username variable from a form in in the PHP webspace
(where the domain is pointing) to a page in an ASP webspace (using a
subdomain not related to the main domain).
I created a frame page in the php hosting with a 1px top frame and the
main frame pointing to the asp page but of course the variable is not
being passed.....if I put the ASP connection code on the frameset page
it doesn't recognize it because the hosting is a Unix/PHP hosting
only.
My question to you is:
Can a variable be passed from the php to the ASP webspace using some
other technique?
I just need to have the ASP module showing as if it is in the PHP.....

Thanks,

How about using cUrl to fetch the page and then display it...

There's one missing piece in your description of the problem. Will the
ASP page accept a GET variable or does it have to be POST?

In the first case, everything can be done rather simply; you put out a
frameset that looks something like this:

<FRAMESET rows="1, *">

<FRAME name="top" src="myscript.p hp">


<FRAME name="bottom"
src="http://othersite.com/otherscript.asp ?user=FayeC">


</FRAMESET>

The second case is mucn more complicated...

you can pass variables by using query string
http://othersite.com/otherscript.asp?user=FayeC to asp page and then
over then you can retrieve it by either:
u=request('user ')
or
u=request.query string('user')

Nope....it has to be POST. The variable is coming from a form on an
html page hosted on a UNIX/PHP server and is linking to a page on the
ASP hosting space.
I just wanted to make it look seamless by cloaking the second
subdomain.
I am not that experienced in PHP to smack a cURL script....I was
reading on it and I found out that the PHP hosting does support it.

What is being hosted on what system is really beside the point.

A frame is no different from any other page - you can only communicate
to it via HTTP/HTML. If the frame content is to be specified by a link
it will be retrieved by GET so you can use CGI arguments, but there's no
way of giving it POST data. But there's nothing to stop you using a form
to specify the frame, if this fits your user interaction model. Just
give a TARGET parameter to the FORM statement as well as the ACTION and
METHOD parameters.

Of course what I said above isn't quite true any more, since the
invention of cookies. Cookies are client side, so it's perfectly
possible for your calling script to weasel away any information in
cookies in the browser, and the called script in the frame to read them.
But I get the impression that your ASP script is a given, in which case
the FORM method above is the only way I can think of.

passing session variables frm ASP to JSP

by: Jason Us | last post by:

Does anyone have experience with passing variables from an ASP page to a JSP page. The way it currently works in passing the SSN in the URL. This cannot be good. I thought that storing a unique session ID in a cookie and referencing the SSN from the Session ID would be the correct way to do this. But since we have two separate servers, IIS and Websphere, how do we coordinate the session ID?
