Pass parameters to PHPRunner project from a third party website

Hello Jack,

Certainly! To work with session variables and GET variables in PHPRunner, you will generally follow these steps:

Using Session Variables

1. Set a Session Variable: You can set a session variable in PHPRunner using PHP code. For example, you can do this in the "Before Process" event or in a custom PHP block:

    session_start();
    $_SESSION['your_variable'] = 'value';
   

2. Get a Session Variable: To access this session variable later, you can use:

    session_start();
    $your_variable = $_SESSION['your_variable'];
   

Using GET Variables

1. Accessing GET Variables: You can access GET variables directly in your PHP code. For example, if you have a URL like yourpage.php?var=value, you can retrieve the variable using:

    $var = $_GET['var'];
   

2. Using GET Variables in PHPRunner: In PHPRunner, you can also use these variables in places like SQL queries, controls, or other events. Just make sure to validate and sanitize the input to avoid any security issues.

   
   

Example Usage

If you want to set a session variable based on a GET variable, you can do something like this in the "Before Process" event:

session_start();

if (isset($_GET['var'])) {
 $_SESSION['your_variable'] = $_GET['var'];
}
Then, later in your application, you can retrieve it as needed.
Troubleshooting
Session Not Started: Ensure that session_start() is called before you try to set or access session variables.
Variable Not Set: Check if the GET variable is being passed correctly in the URL.
Accessing Variables: Make sure you're accessing the variables at the correct time in the script lifecycle. For instance, if you try to access a session variable before it’s been set, it will be undefined.

If you still encounter issues, please provide more details about what you are trying to achieve, and any error messages you might be receiving.
Best regards,

This is a basic task and ChatGPT provides reasonable solutions here. If something doesn't work you need to provide more detailed info.

1. Exact URL you are passing from a third party application to PHPRunner application.
2. What is the exact code you use in PHPRunner to read the parameters from the URL and what event this code was added to.
3. How do you know that it doesn't work? How do you verify it?

Jack,

As Sergey has said, If you can give a bit more detail on what you're trying to pass and how you've been trying to pass the parameters.

Are you passing the parameters via the URL which would be the $_GET parameters, a form or is this some kind of API?
