Hi,

I've made a connection with the following settings:

Name: test
Tablename:test
WHERE SQL: Where team = 'team1'
HEADER: <?php $totalresult = 0; ?>
BODY: <?php $totalresult = $totalresult + $row->amount; ?>
FOOTER: <?php echo $totalresult ;?>

What i want to do is to show the result, which is generated in the connection above, in the body of another connection? The Where statement has to be variabele later on but that's the next step for me. Is this possible?

Regards,

Jaap

Hi Jaap,

you can define that PHP variable as a global one and then call it back in the new connection or even add it to a session, depending on your needs!

Hi Max,

Thanks for the reply, but do you perhaps have an example for me. It's all new for me.

Hi Jaap,

in the first connection and before any thing add this code in the head :

global $totalresult ;

in the 2nd connection do the same then use the same variable and it will hold the same data!

And, how do you store the data to a session?

$session =& JFactory::getSession();
$session->get('chrono__submissions_limit', 'default value', md5('chrono')); // retrieve session values
$session->set("chrono__submissions_limit", 'value', md5('chrono'));//set values

check the Joompla API site for more hints about the functions!
