[Resolved] Passing variables from one script to another

gavacho

Like a typical newb, I have spent all day trying to solve what is surely very simple for someone who knows how.
I need ti pass the current value of a variable from one script to another script. I have tried to do it using session variables, i.e.
pass the current value of
$pages[$x]['keywords'] using

$_SESSION['emailad']= $pages[$x]['keywords'];

and this works the very first time the variable is passed, but then the value of $_SESSION['emailad'] is set in stone. It passes the same value that it did the first time on subsequent calls to the receiving script instead of what the current value should be.

I cannot use anything that destroys or unsets all session variables because the are other session variables used by other scripts. Could anyone provide some example code for what I am trying to do?

Question: Are you passing from HTML to PHP or PHP to PHP?... if HTML to PHP you better off using the trim function for HTML

CodeKadiya at codewalkers.com gave me what I needed:

session_unregister ( "variable")

Thanks to everyone who helped! After finally getting the syntax, string delimiters, and concatenation right, the $_GET method worked! It would be a big asset to newbyish people such as myself if someone could write a tutorial on the means that exist for transferring variable values between scripts with examples. Having spent hours searching for one, I can confidently say that either one doesn't exist or it is buried deep.
