php变量持久化

Question

I have two files:

index.php /lib/user.php

Index contains the form:

<div class="<? echo $msgclass; ?>">
  <? echo $msg; ?>
</div>
<form id="signin" action="/lib/user.php" method="post">
...
</form>

User.php makes all the processing. It sets $msg to 'some error message' and $msgalert to 'error' in case of any error. At the end of processing it uses header() to redirect to index.php

But after redirection $msg and $msgalert no longer persist and index only gets empty vars. How can i fix this?

Answer 1

Edit: sorry misread your question. You can store those values in a session.

In /lib/user.php

session_start();
$_SESSION['msg']      = $msg;
$_SESSION['msgalert'] = $msgalert;

in index.php

session_start();
$msg      = $_SESSION['msg'];
$msgalert = $_SESSION['msgalert'];

note that session_start() uses headers so it must be put before any output is sent.
