Passing Variables from one PHP file to another??

[GaryAC]

Hi,

What I am trying to do here is create a login page. The user can either login as a past user , or become a new member. So far all I have cattered for is becoming a new member each time someone accesses my page, so this works fine.

However it would be better if someone could enter their password etc. and have that run a check on the db to see if it is correct.

At the moment I have 2 pages that deal with new members.

1. Details:
   User manually enters contact details etc.

2. Verifies and adds user to db.

I want to create a third page that only aks for the name and password, but then retreives all of this users other info from the db.Which I know can be done using queries!!!
Then Skipping out the first page and going straight to the 2nd page above.

However I am not sure how to pass PHP variables from one PHP page to another??

I hope that all made sense.
Thanks for any help!!

What I would suggest you to do is to pick up a book on PHP and start reading about how php works and about URL Strings, $_GET etc... PHP.NET is good place you to start to learn some basic php.
Hope this helps

No worries, I am now using

$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_REFERER']

This enables me to cross reference variable values from other pages.

Cheers for the tip
