Help with passing variables between pgs

[Anon]

How do I pass variables between pages? For example, if I have a user enter variable $user through a form on page 1, do something on page 2, and then want to have access to the variable $user on page 3. How do I do this?

I don't want to use GET where the variables are appended to the url, I want to be able to use POST. Thanks.

OK this is going to be interesting to explain.

Cookies could be used. But don't think you wanna travel that road. So we will go the long way!

Assume:
user.php == where user puts in name
userreact.php == something to do with user's name
userreact2.php == the third page

have the form on user.php and have it set as user. Use POST to go to userreact.php... do anything you want there. Now if you do a redirect your url will be userreact2.php?user=$user that will send them to userreact2.php and have the $user set. That would work. Or you could have a hidden field if there was another form on userreact.php and just make it a <input type="Hidden" value="<?php echo"$user"; ?>">. Ok hope I didn't confuse you. Thanks!

How do I make it so that the variables aren't visible in the URL? I wouldn't have a form on the second page (userreact.php). Thanks.
