Re: Using 'Location' and variables

Hi Jim, There are several ways to accomplish this such as flat files, database records, sessions, and the like. But I prefer to simply include a file (or have the one file do both form display and processing) and then you get all your variables: if ($REQUEST_METHOD == 'POST') { // either do you processing and diplay here, or include './destination.php'; // with access to all posted vars } else { // display your form } Remember that header() requires a FULLY QUALIFIED DOMAIN NAME and path: header("Location: http://www.somehost.com/somescript.php"); and that it is a GET ($REQUEST_METHOD == 'GET'). The fact that some web servers will display the page anyway is no reason to depend on that. For PHP4+ of course you can use $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] instead.
