there are many ways you can keep information. now if you must really use global. you can still use global even if the server is set to global off by using $_GLOBAL or using globals decleration. example: $test = 'i'm global'; function f1() { echo $_GLOBAL['test']; // should display i'm global } function f2() { global $test; echo $test; // should display i'm global } now for your forms. i'm not sure is the above will work (to lazy to verify :)) use the other predefined variables like $_POST, $_GET, $_REQUEST thats where data from your forms are stored when the page is submited. and if you want to keep your data when your user move from one page to the other, store it in a session "$_SESSION". remeber to always start session "session_start()" on every page. read more: http://php.net/reserved.variables my advice, avoid using globals. It leads to lots of error that are hard to debug and reproduce. hth, john On 9/12/06, Zbigniew Szalbot <admin@szalbot.homedns.org> wrote: Hello again, On Tue, 12 Sep 2006, Chris wrote:
