Re: Re: Passing variables through a page

If you use sessions, you can pass the variables without having to wory about interim pages. Another option (I don't know if it will actually work) is to put the variables in the the URL of the location redirect. Something like: $loc="http://www.yourdomain.com/nextpage?var1=$var1&var2=$var2"; header("location: $loc"); --- Michael Mauch <michael.mauch@gmx.de> wrote: > Alex Francis <afrancis@camerondesign.co.uk> wrote: > > I have a page (dept_select) with two drop down lists populated > from a table > > in a MySQL Database.
