passing veriables

[rkurth]

I am having problems with passing a verbale to another page.I have tryed with header like this.
header("Location:http://localhost/autosetup/build3.0/user/usercontrol.php?username=$username");

And also with just a link like this
<a href="http://localhost/autosetup/build3.0/user/usercontrol.php?username=$username">click hear</a>

the problem is on the next page it does not pass the verable and the page does not show any of the php data. I have to hit the back button and then refresh the 1st page. Then it gives me all of the data. I can not figure this out. I have done this a ton of times in many diferent scripts. and it always gives me the data. I have also tryed it with sesseions and no mater what I do I have to refresh the page to get the data to show.

looking for another problem I see yours:

And also with just a link like this
<a href="http://localhost/autosetup/build3.0/user/usercontrol.php?username=$username">click hear</a>

Try another way:

close php

?>
And also with just a link like this
<a href="http://localhost/autosetup/build3.0/user/usercontrol.php?username=<? echo $username ?>">click hear</a>

<?php
start php again

test with a

echo $username;

if the var username also exits.
