Re: Passing vars between functions (with POSTs)

Thanks for your reply. I've tried other ways but my problem still continues... I can not pass $login var out of the function. I don't have this problem in the two previous functions because I pass this variable as function argument, but this last function that doesn't have arguments I can't see the $login (even if is setup on the previous function as global). I don't know why I PHP doesn't allow to setup a $login as global to all functions (this will solve this problem). Chain of functions that are using this $login are: login() <---- Html form post to get the login and passed vfy_passwd($login, $passwd) <--- verify the login and passwd on DB menu_user($login) <---- If the login and passwd are correct the user gets a menu with options and on the top shows his login name (html form post). add_new_query() <---- One of the menu options (The problem is in here) If PHP recognize $login as global, the last function would have $login, but this doesn't happens.

Hi, I'm struggling to pass from 3 functions (and one of them have a html form POST) one simple variable called $login. Once in the function (that have form with POST) is calling a php3 without passing the $login (like: common.php3&login='someone') and since the next function doesn't have any relation with this one (doesn't receive any value by return) but requires the same variable ($login). My question and great doubt is: How can I share $login in several functions... without use or change (because I don't have access) the PHP configuration environment... I believe that this could be solve with register_globals var but I don't know how to do it.
