RE: [PHP] Re: Passing Variables

That was my thought too, George. But if the user does not have cookies enabled, then I believe, as Thomas pointed out, that a SESSION is the only way to handle the variables. I have never done a "correct" session so I am trying to learn how to do them without having a userid and password for each user. I have played with sessions but I don't know if I am doing them correctly or how to do sessions without authentication. Jay At 03:14 PM 6/21/2003 +0100, George Pitcher wrote:

Nabil, That is one way but it means that Jay would have to use a form and not a link. You could set a cookie. That would work, but it relies on the user allowing cookies.

I have been searching for an answer to this for a couple of

hours now and

cant find anything. I believe that there is a secure way of

doing this but

I think my brain is having a momentary lapse... I have these variables: $eventid = "1"; $age = "15"; Is there a way to pass these variables to the next page so I

can continue

using them without doing something like this: <A HREF="test.php?eventid=1&age=15"> I would rather not have the variables be seen or known to the

end user for

security reasons because they could change them in the URL. I

know it has

something to do with $_GET and $_POST because I do have register_globals set to OFF in my php file and I do not want to turn them on.... TIA
