losing variables when I post form using redirect

losing variables when I post form using redirect
redirect works, but I am not sure what format of code goes where it states
/ Form processing here /

Page1

<form action="process.php" method="post">
<!- Rest of form here ->

<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="Submit" VALUE="Submit">expired
test </form>

page 2
<?
header('Location:index.php');
/ Form processing here /
?>

Couple of things:

1. Okay, you showhed us where you process the form, but you don't show us the code that actually does it. How are we supposed to debug code that we can't see?

2. Make sure you use the forum's tags when posting code. Namely, [ HTML ][ /HTML ] and [ PHP ][ /PHP ], respectively.

Thanks for replying, I appreciate it
I am just trying to pass variables along. As a simplified exaple, I bring in $x= $x and want to pass along as $x = $x.
In the form processing area, how do I state that
Perhaps I should have posted in the newbie section or dummie section
I am new to the forum. Thanks for headsup on the required tags

I don't understand your question... there's no "passing of variables" here.

The form on page1 is submitted to page2. On page 2, you can use the $_POST superglobal array to access the items in the form posted on page1.

Why do you execute a redirect before processing the variables? You should reverse this.

I am using the redirect to try to avoid the Warning: Page Expired when using back button, and that part works

Do the form processing first and THEN the redirect like mjax said.

if (!empty($_POST['Submit'])) {
	// Process the variables and do what you want to do
}

header('Location: index.php');
