There are many methods to pass values from page to page. Via forms and POST methods, via variables attached to URL and get method, via cookies and via session variables. Troubles come when the same variable pass with many methods. I use the following debug code to assist me on trubles. Hope to be usesfull: //Call show_debug() to see the variables function show_debug() { global $HTTP_GET_VARS, $HTTP_POST_VARS, $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS, $HTTP_SESSION_VARS, $REQUEST_METHOD ; reinport_session_vars(); reset($HTTP_GET_VARS); reset($HTTP_POST_VARS); reset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS); reset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS); ?> <table border="1"> <tr><td colspan="2"><font color="red">GET vars</font></td></tr> &lt;?php while (list($key, $value) = each($HTTP_GET_VARS)) { echo "<tr><td><b>$key</b></td> <td>$value</td></tr>"; } ?><tr><td colspan="2"><font color="red">POST vars</font></td></tr>&lt;?php while (list($key, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { echo "<tr><td><b>$key</b></td> <td>$value</td></tr>"; } ?><tr><td colspan="2"><font color="red">COOKIE vars</font></td></tr>&lt;?php while (list($key, $value) = each($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS)) { echo "<tr><td><b>$key</b></td> <td>$value</td></tr>"; } ?><tr><td colspan="2"><font color="red">SESSION vars</font></td></tr>&lt;?php while (list($key, $value) = each($HTTP_SESSION_VARS)) { echo "<tr><td><b>$key</b></td> <td>$value</td></tr>"; } ?> <tr><td colspan=2"><font color="red">Misc vars</font></td><tr> <tr><td>Request Method</td><td>&lt;?php echo $REQUEST_METHOD; ?></td><tr> </table>&lt;?php }//Debug //Reinport overiden variables function reimport_any_vars($arrayname) { global $$arrayname; if (!is_array($$arrayname)) return; reset($$arrayname); while(list($key, $val) = each($$arrayname)) { $GLOBALS[$key] = $val; } } // In case a session variable change in the midle off the script function reinport_session_vars(){ global $HTTP_SESSION_VARS; reset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS); while (list($key, $value) = each($HTTP_SESSION_VARS)) { $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$key]=$GLOBALS[$key]; } }
