passing variables to a url when Regoster Globals are off

adrianuk29

Ok I am trying to pass a variable from a form using method="post"
and then in to a url on the next page for example
nextpage.php?name=<? echo $var; ?>

Register Globals are set to OFF on the server and I am now getting a little bit confused on what to use. POST, GET or REQUEST I have been messing around for the past hour and a half and I still cannot get this variable in the the link.

if your URL looks like:

http://www.adrianuk29.com/nextpage.php?name=adrianuk29

then on nextpage.php you have a variable called $_GET['name'] that equals "adrianuk29".

adrianuk29

ok so now I get the variable on the next page

example

<?
// get variable from form
$_GET['name'];
?>

How do I now put this back in the url?
Before Register Globals was switched off I would do this

But now I cannot do this, what do I use instead. This is drivin me crazy

Thank you in advance

<a href="TheNextPage.php?name=<?php echo $_GET['name']; ?>">

either convert the $GET['name'] to a the local var $name or pass the $GET var in the a link

$name = $_GET[name'];
<a href="TheNextPage.php?name=<? echo $name; ?>">

<a href="TheNextPage.php?name=<? echo $_GET['name']; ?>">
