PHP - Javascript - Carrying dynamic variables between pages that are in a loop

Hey there!

I've faced a similar situation in one of my projects, and I found a solution using JavaScript and localStorage that worked for me.

In your case, after the user selects a product and submits the form, you can store the selected product's ID and name in the localStorage object using JavaScript. The localStorage object allows you to store and retrieve key-value pairs locally on the user's browser.

Here's an example of how you can achieve this:

On the page where the user selects the product:

javascript
// Assuming you have a form with the product ID and name

const productId = document.getElementById('product-id').value;

const productName = document.getElementById('product-name').value;



localStorage.setItem('selectedProduct', JSON.stringify({ id: productId, name: productName }));

javascript
// Retrieve the selected product from localStorage

const selectedProduct = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('selectedProduct'));



// Use the selected product's ID and name as needed

console.log('Selected Product ID:', selectedProduct.id);

console.log('Selected Product Name:', selectedProduct.name);

Hey folks,

In a similar situation, I found the concept of session variables quite helpful for carrying dynamic variables between pages in a loop. Here's how I tackled it using PHP:

First, start a session by calling `session_start()` at the beginning of your PHP script. This will enable you to store and retrieve session variables across different pages.

When the user selects a product and submits the form, you can store the selected product's ID and name in session variables. For instance:

php
$_SESSION['selectedProductID'] = $productId;

$_SESSION['selectedProductName'] = $productName;

php
$selectedProductID = $_SESSION['selectedProductID'];

$selectedProductName = $_SESSION['selectedProductName'];

Hey there,

I've encountered a similar scenario in one of my projects, and I would suggest using query parameters in the URLs to pass the dynamic variables between the pages in a loop. This approach has worked well for me.

Here's how you can implement it:

On the page where the user selects the product and submits the form, you can append the selected product's ID and name as query parameters in the URL. For example, if the product ID is 123 and the product name is "ABC", the URL can be something like `nextpage.php?id=123&name=ABC`.

On the next page, you can retrieve these query parameters using PHP and use them as needed. You can access them using `$_GET` superglobal array. For example, `$_GET['id']` would give you the product ID, and `$_GET['name']` would give you the product name.

php
$id = $_GET['id'];

$name = $_GET['name'];



echo "Selected Product ID: " . $id;

echo "Selected Product Name: " . $name;
