Hello,
I would like to know how to pass variables or information between on form in drupal to another form in drupal.
variable_set('variable_name','value') --> set the variable name and its value in table {variable} and makes it accessible via varialbe_get()
//from bootstrap.inc <?php function variable_set($name, $value) { global $conf;
db_lock_table('variable'); db_query("DELETE FROM {variable} WHERE name = '%s'", $name); db_query("INSERT INTO {variable} (name, value) VALUES ('%s', '%s')", $name, serialize($value)); db_unlock_tables();
cache_clear_all('variables', 'cache');
$conf[$name] = $value; } ?>
drupal_get('variable_name','default_vaule') --> this function will check the table named {variable} for variable if its found it will take its value otherwise default_value will be taken
//from bootstrap.inc <?php function variable_get($name, $default) { global $conf; return isset($conf[$name]) ? $conf[$name] : $default; }
