How do I forward a variable?

[FillePille]

I want the next page I visit also should know what the variable "$userid" means.. but it doesn't.. Can I somehow "FORWARD" the variable to the next page?..

you may want to check out a thread where i pose the same basic question (or at least half of it):
http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10218864

you need to set the variable to a query string in the page title. ex:
www.yoursite.com.yourpage.php?userid=1

how to do this?

i've done it by setting the links to that page up this way :

printf(<a href=\"user_info.php?userid=%s\">%s</a>,
$row[1]);

this sends the browser to the user_info.php page and gives it a query string of ?userid=x
(where x is the variable held in $row[1]

as for the getting it out, you need to use something like
userid= $_GET[userid]
to set that variable/value again.

heh. this is the first time i've answered a question on this site, so everyone should feel free to correct my massive mistakes.

hope this works for ya

You could also use an invisible form element:

<form action="nextPage.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" value="$varUwant" name="varUwant">
<input type="submit" value="Go!">
</form>
