PHP/MySQL - Nav links pass variable to another page? Or?

I'm a PHP/MySQL beginner. I'm digging through books and tutorials as best I can, but finding myself a little lost in the sheer volume of information. If someone can point me in the right direction for this task, I'd really appreciate it.
I have a database (MySQL) with two tables. One is a list of carpets, and the other a list of the categories of carpets and information about those categories.
The "carpets" table has a field for each record to indicate which category that carpet belongs to.
I'm trying to do this:
- A navigation bar listing the categories
- When you click on a category, a "gallery" page opens, display the carpets (name, description, photo) of each carpet in that category
Does Dreamweaver have server behaviors for this? If not, can anyone give me a general idea of what the code is I need to write to make this happen?
Thanks VERY much in advance,

David,
I believe I've done exactly what you described above; only my naming is slightly different.
catID in my database is "category_id"
page.php in my application is "navbar.php"
detail.php in my application is "gallery.php"
When I view navbar.php in the browser and click on one of the links, the resulting URL is like this:
gallery.php?2=
or
gallery.php?3=
etc.
I'm pasting the whole code from navbar.php and gallery.php below, in case it's is helpful for you to have a look at it (and you have the time to).
I am really grateful for your help.
Patty

Need help passing variables to another jsp page

I am working in a shopping cart with multiple lines and I am wanting to pass 2 variables to another page which is accessed from a link.
What I have so far is the following:
This is on the shopping cart JSP page with the link
<input type="hidden" name="shopCartReqDate1<%=i%>" id="shopCartReqDate1<%=i%>" value="<%= retVals[9] %>">
<input type="hidden" name="shopCartExpDate1<%=i%>" id="shopCartExpDate1<%=i%>" value="<%= retVals[10] %>">
Need it Earlier?
I am wanting to pass it to the HAC_Help_Text_Need_it_Earlier.jsp page
Right now on the HAC_Help_Text_Need_it_Earlier.jsp page I have the following code:
String shopCartReqDate1 = IBEUtil.nonNull(request.getParameter("shopCartReqDate1"));
String shopCartExpDate1 = IBEUtil.nonNull(request.getParameter("shopCartExpDate1"));
Do I need to create a function and do a document.getElementById?
Thanks for the help!

As far as I understand your question You don't have to use document.getElementById. Just submit the form and then on the next page You'll just pull the variables out from the request object.

How do I display # symbol in PHP to refer to an anchor on another page?

How do I display # symbol in PHP to refer to an anchor on
another page?
I am updating a record and using a dynamic anchor name for
the page to forward to like this:
seeAllEntriesXcodeAsc.php#<?php echo
$row_getProductsWithSAMEcode['id']; ?>
But I keep getting an error, I think its because its reading
the # hash sign as a PHP instruction rather than an anchor hash...
Is there are way to mark it up so as to use the # as part of the
URL ?
I have even tried referring to a dummy field with a hash in
like this - but that doesn't work either.
seeAllEntriesXcodeAsc.php<?php echo $_POST['hash'];
?><?php echo $row_getProductsWithSAMEcode['id']; ?>
Thanks!

Sorry, I will try and explain in a different way...
I have a page in php where a database has an entry added,
changed or deleted.
The page is posted to an in between page to process the
transaction (which works)...
You are then taken to a dynamic anchor of the entry on a
database summary page to the SAME entry to see that the change has
been done.
(So the basic problem is that the link to take to the anchor
needs to have a # hash symbol in the middle to denote the anchor,
but the URL that is created puts the # at the end of the URL rather
than directly before the link the php code generates... All I need
is a way to code a PHP URL that manages a # hash in the middle.)
So in the middle processing page, I have update an entry
transaction with the page to redirect to after undertaking the
transaction as:
seeAllEntriesXcodeAsc.php#<?php echo
$row_getProductsWithSAMEcode['id']; ?>
So the final URL error I get is this:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected
T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or
T_NUM_STRING in
/secure/c/capitalgarden/admin/DeleteEntryProcessor.php on line 39
The file is too large to post here so I have saved the file
as an HTML file so you can read the code at this URL:
http://www.new.capital-garden.com/DeleteEntryProcessor.html
Thanks for your help!

When I try to access adobe from my smart phone to use my form created in formscentral I receive an error message that says "unsupported browser". There is a link to download a supported browser but the link directs me to another page that says "browser not supported at this time". This happened to me while using my IPhone 5, a friend that uses an IPhone 6, and another friend that uses a Samsung Galaxy S5. I just need for my employees to be able to access, complete and submit work orders created in formscentral from their phones. I would like to use the data collection feature in formscentral but at this point any suggestions on how to accomplish this are welcomed. Thank you

Importing variables from another page in jsp

Hey.
I want to make two pages. I want the first page to include the variables from another page or POJO.
I did this but i cant use the variables in index.jsp without initializing them first. But when I initialize them i get an error when trying to initialize them two times.
if i use the variable in index without saving i get an error in eclipse.. but it works if i save and deploy.
Is there any way to make eclipse see that i have imported the variable?
The pages look something like this:
index.jsp
<%@ include file="extra.jsp" %>
Print the number from the extra page
<%= number %>extra.jsp
int number = 32;I plan using this in a much greater system so I would appreciate any help.

I'm having the same problem.
Would be nice if somebody could help us.

hi all,
i hav an interactive report. if i clik on a particular row, that row values must be passed to an another page (via javascript)
i found this forum https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2467579 in which they hav used it for sending mail.
but i wanted to pass those values to another page throug javascript bz, i hav installed a plugin nd wrking from it under right clik.

function func(action,el, pos)
   window.location ="http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=71510:2:&SESSION.:::2:P2_X,P2_X2:'+ $(el).children('td[headers="EMPNO"]').text() + ',' + $(el).children('td[headers="ENAME"]').text()";
here i hav redirected it to the 2nd page and in the 2nd page i hav used 2 items to get these values.
$(el).children('td[headers="EMPNO"]').text() +        -------> this is to fetch the empno of that particular row and similarly for the name.

[php+mysql] how to pass a variable to a page in a frameset

Hi all,
I have a problem with a php page sending a variable to a page
contained in
a frameset.
In the base page I have a link that sets a variable
(basepage.php&link=mylink) and loads a frameset.
How can I read this variable in a page contained in the
frameset?
What are the possible solutions?
I have to use frameset since the customer WANTS a music file
playing while
surfing the website. So, I created a frameset and loaded the
music on a
frame that will NOT change/reload during navigation. Is there
an
alternative that will allow me to load pages without
interrupting the base
music?
TIA
Tony ;)

Pass data from a variable to another page

Hi,
I have a "select one choice" field from a page. I want to pass the data from that field to another page.
Any ideas on how to do it?
Thanks!

drag and drop a list form data control onto your page as SOC.
In the value change event get value like, valueChangeEvent.getNewValue()
                                        <af:selectOneChoice value="#{bindings.Return.inputValue}"
                                                            label="Plan:"

                                                            unselectedLabel="Please select a value

                                                            valueChangeListener="#{MyBean.planValueChangeEvent}">
                                             <af:forEach items="#{bindings.Return.items}"

Equating a passed variable to another variable??

I have a simple 3 part setup as follows...
1 JSP, 1 Java Class, 1 Interface for the class
I want the JSP file to pass a variable to the java class which contains the name of a variable in the interface. (e.g. a String called "name", the variable name in the interface contains "Bob Smith") How do I get java to equate what is in the passed variable ("name") to what is contained in the name variable of the interface("Bob Smith"). Hopefully I explained this with enough detail to understand, but if I didnt, let me know.

Nevermind, I'm going to switch the flow of data so I dont have to do that.

Passing data to another page loaded in the same window

How to pass data from a page to another when new page loading
takes place ?
I use :
window.htmlLoader.load( new air.URLRequest("app:/" +
htmlfilename));
I tried :
window.htmlLoader.addEventListener(air.Event.CHANGE,
passmonitor)
but it doesn't work !

The problem is in passing the variables . As I mentioned
above,, the following error message gets displayed:
Can't get property window from undefined value
The code I tried is
myloader = window.htmlLoader.load(new air.URLRequest("app:/"
+ filen ));
myloader.window.somevar = "data";

Link from report to another page

I have a report with form construction. The report lists Things. Thing has columns ID,NAME,DESC. The ID (Edit button) via the wizard is linked to the form and it works fine. Next I wanted to have the NAME column link to another page (page 27) whose content is generated by a PLSQL procedure as the region source. The PLSQL uses the bind variable :P27_ID to determine which record to select. On the reports page Column Attributes for NAME I have target page in this application (27) and in the Items List I have Name of P27_ID and value of #ID#. I hoped this would work like the link to the Form page but it doesn't quite. The problem is on Page 27 I wind up with the record for the previous time I clicked a NAME in the report list. It's like one behind. I'm missing something obviously.

Anonymous - Sometimes the session state gets corrupted when you're developing an application, like if you rename an item for example. If logging out/logging in permanently fixed the issue, it was probably something like that.

Passing values to another page with %

I have a button that redirects to another page in my application. I am passing the value of one my fields to the target page via <Set These Items> and <With These Values>. The source field has a % at the end of it. When the value gets passed to the target, the % is not passed. Is there a problem passing values with % in them?
Here is the passing parameter list:
Set These Items: P22_DB_NAME
With These values: &P2_DB_NAME.
The value of P2_DB_NAME is "ESB%". When it gets to the target page it is "ESB".

Brian,
you will need to encode the percent sign and use
%25
instead of
Make your button an url and use this link. It will replace the percentage with the encoded value and pass the value to the specified item.
redirect('f?p=&APP_ID:22:&SESSION.::::P22_DB_NAME:'+$x('P2_DB_NAME').value.replace(/%/, '%25'));

Process - Pass values to another page

Procedure for passing parameters.
Hi
I have a report region on my page, where the each record have a checkbox to reference a Identifier..
I want to pass all identifiers referring to the checkbox selected to another page.
For this I created an item called: P20010_NIVEIS_SEL .. I put the values in it and his step to another item on another page.
But is not working.
The process is this:
DECLARE
BEGIN
IF htmldb_application.g_f01.COUNT <= 1 THEN
      : P20010_NIVEIS_SEL: = htmldb_application.g_f01 (1);
ELSE
    FOR i IN 1 .. htmldb_application.g_f01.COUNT LOOP
      : P20010_NIVEIS_SEL: =: P20010_NIVEIS_SEL | | ',' | | htmldb_application.g_f01 (i);
    END LOOP;
      : P20010_NIVEIS_SEL: = SUBSTR (: P20010_NIVEIS_SEL, 2,: P20010_NIVEIS_SEL.LENGTH);
END IF;
END;It´s importante say that to pass the parameters I created a branch to another page, where while the contents of an item to another.
This giving an error:
ORA-01008: not all variables are limitedthanks

Hi,
Quickly I noticed few mistake. I did not test this, but you could
DECLARE
BEGIN
IF apex_application.g_f01.COUNT <= 1 THEN
      :P20010_NIVEIS_SEL := apex_application.g_f01(1);
ELSE
    FOR i IN 1 .. apex_application.g_f01.COUNT LOOP
      :P20010_NIVEIS_SEL := :P20010_NIVEIS_SEL | | ',' | | apex_application.g_f01(i);
    END LOOP;
      :P20010_NIVEIS_SEL := SUBSTR(:P20010_NIVEIS_SEL, 2,LENGTH(:P20010_NIVEIS_SEL));
END IF;
END;Br,Jari

Link to anchor in another page?

I'm trying to link to an anchor in another page, as opposed
to the same page. Is this possible? Can I do it using a hotzone
instead of text?
I found this but it seems to only want to link to an anchor
on the same page -
http://www.uwec.edu/HELP/Dreamweaver8/lnk-target.htm
Any help much appreciated.

Yes it is possible.
In the properties dialog insert the page containing the named
anchor into the link edit box.
At the end of the link add #anchor name.
For example:
link:
index.htm#anchorname
