This was a real-world problem I recently had to solve.

Use case: User enters a string in a search box on a PHP page. On submit, the page queries the database and then posts results to a table on the same page. User then selects a single record with a radio button and needs to post only that record to a different PHP page. The second page does not have access to the database.

Working demo at https://postfrompost.paulmiller3000.com.

Create a new database and user. Be sure to grant your user SELECT and EXECUTE privileges on your database.

Use database-load-sample.sql to load records.

Execute devCharacters.sql to create the stored procedure.
