Passing variables to/from a non-form pag

[Anon]

Hello

I am working on a web site with a multi-form order process. The process is designed to work as follows:

(1) User fills out order form (ORDER.PHP)
(2) If new user (email not in datbase) the user goes to a registration form (REGISTER.PHP). Otherwise, the user goes to a summary/invoice page (SUMMARY.PHP).

ORDER.PHP posts to an intermediate page called ORDER2.PHP, which determines if the user is a new user or retuning customer by querying the database. This page will receive all of the variables from ORDER.PHP and is supposed to pass them on to either REGISTER.PHP or SUMMARY.PHP. However, since ORDER2.PHP does not have a form itself In other words, there is no submit/post action taking place on ORDER2.PHP -- it is simply a script that recieves and processes data. Is there a way I can pass variables from ORDER2.PHP to another page without the use of a form submit?

Thanks

you could send a get request with whataver you wanted to pass in:

header("Location: nextPage.php?var1=blah&var2=somethingelse&var3=mortocome");

Hope that Helps!

You could store the order info in an object and store the object as a session variable.

Thanks for your message. I am relatively new to PHP. I wasn't aware that PHP supported objects, and I haven't worked with session variables. I will definitely look into this and appreciate your input. Thanks!
