How to bring textfield value into other viewController in xcode Obj c?

Question

I have this email = 'abc' and pw = '123' value in PHP MySQL database and PHP code as below.

login2.php

<?php
$connect = mysqli_connect("localhost","","","");
if(isset($_POST['email'])) {
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $pw    = $_POST['pw'];
    $sql   = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE email='$email' AND pw=md5('$pw')";
    $get   = mysqli_query($connect,$sql);

    if($get && mysqli_num_rows($get) > 0) {
        while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($get)) {
            $email_db = $row['email'];
            $pw_db    = $row['pw'];             
            echo '{"success":1}';
            exit();
        }
        mysqli_free_result($get);
    } else {
        echo '{"success":0}';
        echo mysqli_error($connect);
        exit();
    }
}
?>

What I want to achieve in xcode is to bring the success value into other ViewController called HomepageVC and display the value when loginbutton action is clicked.

Right now i can only view the textfield value on the same ViewController page. I don't know how to transfer the input value into another ViewController. Obj c code as below.

ViewController.m

@synthesize displayL,passL,email,pw;

- (IBAction)loginbutton:(id)sender
{    
    @try {

        if([[email text] isEqualToString:@""] || [[pw text] isEqualToString:@""] ) {
            [self alertFailed:@"Please enter both Username and Password" :@"Login Failed!"];
        }
        else {
            NSString *post =[[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"email=%@&pw=%@",[email text],[pw text]];
            NSLog(@"PostData: %@",post);
            NSURL *url=[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://localhost/login2.php"];
            NSData *postData = [post dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];
            NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [postData length]];

            NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];
            [request setURL:url];
            [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
            [request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];
            [request setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Accept"];
            [request setValue:@"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
            [request setHTTPBody:postData];

            NSError *error = [[NSError alloc] init];
            NSHTTPURLResponse *response = nil;
            NSData *urlData=[NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&error];
            NSLog(@"Response code: %d", [response statusCode]);
            if ([response statusCode] >=200 && [response statusCode] <300)
            {
                NSString *responseData = [[NSString alloc]initWithData:urlData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
                NSLog(@"Response ==> %@", responseData);
                SBJsonParser *jsonParser = [SBJsonParser new];
                NSDictionary *jsonData = (NSDictionary *) [jsonParser objectWithString:responseData error:nil];
                NSLog(@"%@",jsonData);
                NSInteger success = [(NSNumber *) [jsonData objectForKey:@"success"] integerValue];
                NSLog(@"%d",success);
                if(success == 1)
                {
                    NSLog(@"Login SUCCESS");
                    [self alertStatus:@"Logged in Successfully." :@"Login Success!"];
                    NSString * input  = email.text;
                    NSString * input2 = pw.text;
                    displayL.text = input;
                    passL.text = input2;

                } else {
                    NSString *error_msg = (NSString *) [jsonData objectForKey:@"error_message"];
                    [self alertFailed:error_msg :@"Login failed"];
                }
            } else {
                if (error) NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
                [self alertFailed:@"Connection Failed" :@"Login Failed!"];
            }
        }
    }
    @catch (NSException * e) {
        NSLog(@"Exception: %@", e);
        [self alertStatus:@"Login Failed." :@"Login Failed!"];
    }
}

It's been many months since the last time I used Objective-C, as I'm a Swift user now. Anyways, passing data between two ViewControllers is no brainer. You can pass the data via Segues or before pushViewController.

If you want to use values of textfield from currentViewController to nextViewController, you can use NSUserDefaults.

store your textfield value in one string. for example Txtfldstring

Txtfldstring= [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",_yourTextField.text];

Then store that textfield value like following way:

NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
// saving an NSString

[prefs setObject:Txtfldstring forKey:@"abc"];

Use this value in nextViewController or any other Controller like following way;

NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
// getting an NSString
NSString *s = [prefs stringForKey:@"abc"];
NSLog(@“%@",s);
