How to include non-file variables in a droplet
« on: May 29, 2010, 06:24:50 AM »
I am loving WB, but am not that good with PHP. There probably is a very easy way to do this:

I want to store some values in a hidden code section of a page and then retreive them as variables in a droplet.
So for example.
Code section of page contains
$name="xxx";
$address="yyy";

I want to run a droplet that uses these variables at the start of the droplet.

I know how to get the contents of the code section from the database but I want to do the equivalent of php 'include' using from the database (code section) contents.
Maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
Will I have to use serialize to retrieve and store the data and if so, can anyone give me a simple example.


Many thanks
Rodney

You could use sessions..

in the code section use:
$_SESSION['name'] = 'xxx';

in your droplet use:
if(isset($_SESSION['name'])) {
  
$name = $_SESSION['name']
}
