passing POST variables from page to page

[brambleon]

Hello everyone,
I have looked at other posts on this subject, but I don't think I really understood what to do. I would rather not use cookies if at all possible.
I have a page where a user logs in. The php then connects to a database and gives them options of ways to view their account. This is the welcome page. When a user chooses a way to view their account, I then need to pass their account id to another php page. The value of account id is retrieved from the database and stored in the variable $cid in the welcome page script. It seems like this should be simple. How do I do it? Thanks for any help. -Tiffany

if you dont want to use cookies use sessions instead.

Is there a way I can use a hidden input box to pass it?

Thanks again
