How to send values from a form to another page.

Hi!

i have a forgetpassword page which after taking necessary user information, SETs password to 123456 and notify the user by email.

now when user enters again with default password 123456 then i am directing the user to another page on which he has to put new password of his choice.

The login page has PHPSELF to work on user inputs and if everything is ok and the password is default then

Header("Location: updatepassword.php");

will lead user to updatepassword first to going to member's area.

So, how i can take values the values like(username and password) from login page to automatically be shown in the respective text boxes on the updatepassword page?

Hope you'll ignor any spell mistakes:-)

Use a session to store the variables and take them to the page where you need them (PLace session_start(); at the start of the pages that require the session variables, and fill: $_SESSION['name'] = $name😉.

By the way: Please do not set the pass to 123456 as a default; If one person figures that out (Because they requested a reset) they can basically hack all accounts on there. Rather use a random value.
