Passing variable through a PHP script

bigfunkychief

Hello,
I'm trying to send a variable from a form on one page (new.html), through to a .php file (next.php) and then through again to another .php file (process.php).

The variable gets from new.html to next.php fine, but when I try to pass automatically from next.php to process.php, it doesn't go.

Variable is $a.

Code from next.php is:
<html>
<body>
<?php

$a = $_POST['a']; // grabs variable from html form

$a = $a + 1; // adds one to it

????????????? // then I'm not sure how to pass it again.....

Thanks in advance!

<html>
<body>
<?php
$_POST["a"]++;  // adds one to it
?>


<!--- then this redirects to process.php
-->

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
window.location.replace('process.php?a=<?php  echo ($_POST["a"]); ?>');
//-->
</script>
</body>
</html>

and in process.php you should use $_GET["a"] to access the var

ps. there is a way to pass the variable as $_POST but thats a tad more complicated
