passing a variable to another script

[ferdia]

I'm new to PHP and would like a clear and not so technical answer.
I've a small problem and can't seem to figure it out.
I've a variable with a value in one script and i want to use this value in another script.
Whats the best way to do this.

Thanks Ferdia.

[man]include/man the first script into the second.

That's the easiest, and sometimes best way to do it. But there are others like:
[man]session[/man]s, [man]cookies[/man], hidden forms, URL GET variables.

If your first script is semi-static (i.e. relies upon no user-input) then you can just include the first script into the second; however, if the first script does require user-input, then it's a bit tougher. You'd need to utilize either sessions, or hidden forms or URL GET variables.

Hope that's a clear, not-so-technical answer 😉
