How to pass variabels without using forms or other input

How do I send a variable to a page without using a form?

I have 3 pages: page1.php, page2.php and page3.php.

Page 1 is a form and sends a variable to page 2. Page 2 does some processing and returns page 3. I want page 3 to include the variable that was sent ot page 2. Is this possible?

Thanks.

page.php?vanamer=value

to access:

$_GET['varname']

then just send them to:

"page2.php?varname=".$_GET['varname']

Use Sessions and have an array store all the information

How do I use a session array? Can you give me an example please?

Thanks!

session_start();
$_SESSION['userid'] = $uid;
$_SESSION['var'] = "var"
//etc......

that's how you do a session but i don't think that will work for you if you're redirecting using header(); because taht destroys the session........ so i'd suggest the [...].php?var=value method.

Actually I'm echoing a meta refresh tag instead of using a header.

Thanks, let me try this.

ok then this should work. you might want to read up on sessions at the manual.
