I'll try and rephrase this thing...
If I've got an array of, say, 20 name/value pairs (in PHP) and I want to pass it to another page, how do I do so without creating a hidden input for each one or sending them as url parameters?
[man]sessions[/man]
this way you only need to submit the form data once (or get the data from the db etc) and you can carry them around for the life of the session
Nice one - but is there a way of doing it without using sessions?
you are wanting to do this without the only three easy ways of doing it, why is that
I just need a simple alternative of "HTTP_POST_VARS" that, instead of defining the variables that were posted to the page, contains the variables that will be posted from the page. Nice and simple, surely?
Write the name/values to a text file and name it as the user's session. You'll need an identifier.
If you don't want the session to be 'sent' to the client, append it to the querystring. If you don't use that, then you should recode your pages to a more logical structure.
