I have the following script and need to pass the variable $fupload to the new page that is opened display.php

How can I achieve this?

gallery.php

<?php include("header.inc"); ?>
<br>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="5">
  <tr> 
    <td width="5%" valign="top" class="link">&nbsp;</td>
    <td width="20%" valign="top" class="link"><div align="left"><a href="galleries.php">&lt;&lt; 
        BACK to Galleries</a></div></td>
    <td width="10%" valign="top" class="link">Gallery</td>
    <td width="55%" align="center" valign="top" class="link"><p class="text"> 
        <?php
		$db = "gallery";
		$link = mysql_connect( "host", "user", "pass" );
		if ( !$link ) die( "Couldn't connect to MySQL".mysql_error() );
		mysql_select_db( $db, $link ) or die( "Couldn't open $db: ".mysql_error() );
		$sql = "SELECT * FROM galleryTable WHERE tour = '$page' ORDER BY id DESC";
		$result = mysql_query( $sql, $link );
		while ( $newArray = mysql_fetch_array($result) )
			{
			$id = $newArray['id'];
			$status = $newArray['status'];
			$name = $newArray['name'];
			$materials = $newArray['materials'];
			$size = $newArray['size'];
			$fupload = $newArray['fupload'];
			$tupload = $newArray['tupload'];
			print "
				<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">
					<tr>
						<td valign=top width=\"40%\">
		<a href=\"#\" onClick=\"window.open('display.php', 'newWindow', 'status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no')\"><img src=\"/images/archive/$tupload\"></a>
						</td>
						<td valign=bottom width=\"60%\"><p class=smalltext>$name<br>$materials<br>$size<br>$status</p></td>
					</tr>
				</table><hr noshade color=#000000>
			";
			}
		mysql_close( $link );
		?>
        <br>
      </p></td>
    <td width="10%" align="center" valign="top" class="link">&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table>
<?php include("footer.inc"); ?>

Excellent - I was getting bogged down in sessions!!!

Yes,
You can send this variable in another way,
That's you will create a form and make inside it a hidden input,
finally you will make a submit button to send it.

The good thing in the Form, that it make you able to use post method to send your variable.

Note, I did not read your code carfully, but when sending variables accross pages, the sound of forms jumps directly to the mind😃
I hope this add more help
