How do I move values from one pg 2 nxt?

[Anon]

I have code that checks to see if the user has the correct user and password filled out in a form. It then takes them to the member page. The member page uses

<?php
if (auth != "yes")
{
header("location: http://www.mysite.com/index.php");
exit();
}
?>

to see if the variable 'auth' is set to yes.

I am using this code on the login page

if ($num2 > 0) // password is correct

{
$auth="yes";

header("Location: http://www.mysite.com/trashform2.php");

}

It takes me to the member page but it does not keep 'auth' set to "yes" Please help me! Thx

Do a search on google.com for "posttohost", a function which posts variables between pages without having to press any submit buttons.

Is $auth a session variable? If not, change the header line to something like this.

header("Location: http://www.mysite.com/trashform2.php?auth=yes");

it is a session variable that is passed when the user puts in the right user and password

How are you refering to that session variable ? Do you have register_globals turned on ?

Have you tried $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['auth'] or $_SESSION['auth'] for 4.1+ I believe.
