You just want to post page1.php to page2.php
action="page2.php" method="post" in the form tag and you can access all the variables in the form from page1.php by $whateverYouNamedThem ,
php assigns all them as variables for you.
or
$submitted_vars = strtolower($REQUEST_METHOD) == 'get' ? $HTTP_GET_VARS : $HTTP_POST_VARS;
is returns a hash or associative array of all submitted variables called " $submitted_vars "
just use $submitted_vars[name]
Hope this help
