Header half working

robfog

Okay. I am using the header to transfer a user ID from page to page. UID=$UID. I am running one script for nearly everything but change to the another script for editing part of the data base. The problem is the UID doesn't remain when I go back to the original script. I add firstname=$firstname to the header at this point and it does go across okay. Any ideas the relevant script is below.

require("backend.php");

$login_check = is_logged();

if (!$login_check) {

<HTML>
    <HEAD><TITLE>SMI Cards - Admin : Edit (Error)</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<p align="center"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="4" color="#999933">Error 
: You need to <a href=login.html>login</a> to request this page</font></p>
</BODY>
</HTML>

exit;

}

if (empty($firstname) || empty($lastname)) {

    list($language, $display, $print, $firstname, $ordernumber) = medit_retrieve($login_check[1]);

<HTML>
    <HEAD><TITLE>Admin : Update</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY leftmargin="100">

       <p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="4" color="#11CC99">Modify Details</font></p>

</BODY>
</HTML>

exit;

}

$update = medit($login_check[1], $language, $display, $print, $firstname, $ordernumber);

if ($update == 2) {

    header("Location: taindex.php?UID=$UID&firstname=$firstname");
exit;

}

... now the variable UID will be "$UID"... is THAT exactly what did you want?? Insert

action="taedit.php?UID=<?=$UID;?>"

instead... maybe then will it work...
