Passing a variable to a Popup Window

[rosscarlson]

Everyone,

Ok, I know this has been discussed a lot, and I did a lot of reading before posting. I know that I can easily pass a variable through the URL to the popup window to get it that way, this however won't work for me.

Here's the issue. I'm opening a popup window to allow a user to edit some information. However if they are not logged in as an admin this page is view only. So if I pass in something via the URL it could easily be hacked. So I need to pass this data via code so it is more secure.

Any ideas???

Thanks,

Ross Carlson

Create a session with the variable registered in it. Then just pass the session ID to the popup page. Not going to be easy tohack that unless they have physical access to the server
