how to passing $_POST through intermediate page?

[scorpioy]

I have a form in page 1, if clicking the submit button, it passes a variable and an array by $_POST to page 2.

Page 2 has two forms: yes and no. If clicking 'no', it does nothing and return back to page 1; if clicking 'yes' button, I want it to load page 3 and begin to process the variable and array passed from page 1.

For the 'yes' button, I tried to use a variable to hold the value of $POST first, then put it in a hidden type variable in the form, but after it loads the page 3, the value in $POST from page 1 gets lost.

Does someone know how to solve this problem?

Thanks.

I solved that by using hidden fields... named the same as your previous form items from page 1....

or you can serialize the $_POST variable and assign that to a hidden form field....

then use $orig_var_array = unserialize($_POST['myserializeddatafield']);

If you have to pass lots of data around, it's probably easier to start using sessions, since most of the work is done for you.
