    having major problems passing variables between scripts

    what kind of problems? check to see if register_globals is turned on in php.ini

      hi, thanks for that, is it best to be on on off????

      many thanks

        ahhhh perfect, i kinda see wht u mean, i was turned on on my old server, but now its off, so i need to rewrite my code quickly, can u show me a quick example of how to pass variable between forms when this is turned off ??? i'd very much appriciate this cos i'm in a crazy hurry...........

        thanks

          for variables that are sent with GET (<form action="..." method="get")
          use

          $_GET['variable'] 
//instead of 
$variable

          for those with POST

          $_POST['variable'] 
//instead of 
$variable

          for cookies

          $_COOKIE['variable'] 
//instead of 
$variable

          or just tu be sure use

          $_REQUEST['variable'] 
//instead of 
$variable

          for any variable comming from outside your script(form, cookies)

            hi, I'm not clear on what you mean, on the sending script do i use

            $_COOKIE['dbid']  = "45";
[code=php]

and then in the script that recieves i can use

[code=php]

$_REQUEST['dbid']
[code=php]
and then  

[code=php]
echo $dbid;

[code=php]
should show 45?  


am i correct ( prob not :(
