integrating PHP and Webfocus
Has anyone passed variables through PHP and then retrieved these variables through Webfocus. I saw an earlier post on the forum but no one seemed to respond. Any help would be great.

thanks

you can modify your querystring with PHP and href into a webfocus report, but if you're using Trusted authentication it ain't going to work so good.

Yes it works. In PHP, either modify your querystring to add the variable names and values (GET based submissions) or modify the postfields to add the variable names and values (POST based submissions). Don't forget to URLEncode your data. In WebFOCUS access the variable as normal amper variables.
