You've definitely raised an interesting topic. Question though... a system requires different levels of access to see various parts of the system. How does your method of doing things w/o sessions accomidate that? Does it use that information from the origin POST? Also, is this secure? Any loop holes?

I don't see any loop holes and it's secure as any other php script. The technique holds all variables intact, including POST, GET, SESSION, et all arrays. This does work -- as shown by this: http://www.webbytedd.com/bb/tedd/index.php Here's another example: http://www.webbytedd.com/bb/php-run-php/ Note that $test is defined and populated with "This is a test" at the start of the parent script -- however, the contents of the variable remain regardless of which script you choose.
