Passing a html form value to secondary php page

[Ravindar]

Does anybody know how to pass a html value (from a textbox) to the next next php page. I know that once a textbox field is clicked and we click 'submit', the <form action=whatever.php> passes these values only to the next page; however, I need these values once we go to the next page after the first page.

Is there a javascript I can use to do this? Basically, I want to create a variable on one page so that I can include that page on another page and (like on C++) so that these vaiables can be accessed. Is my logic correct? can anyone help?

well, you have many options to do it.

1. you can use hidden variables
2. pass in url
3. store in a global variable
4. store as a seession variable

you have to select which way works for you!!

I would recommend using a session variable. That's probably the most secure way of going about it.
