Passing Data between pages

[Anon]

Hi, new to php.

Just wondering if their is another way to pass an array into another php page.

Im using two php3 pages.
The second php page generates a pie chart as a gif, and the first page works out some data and then displays the pie chart as a gif using <img src="piechart.php3"> and also some other statistics.

Both pages use the data to display info, so either page can do the calculations, and to save time doing the same thing twice, id like to pass the data between them.

Thanks in advance.

let the array be $gif_arr

for($i = 0; $i < sizeof($gif_arr); $i++)
{
?><INPUT TYPE = HIDDEN
NAME = "gif_arr[<?php
echo $i; ?>]"
VALUE = <?php
echo $gif_arr[$i]; ?>
>
<?php
}

send it as an array of hiiden fields...

I would like to know how to pass data to each page within a site for a user, such as user id and password? Thanks.

the best way to transmit variable between
page is COOKIES

syntax

setcookie("<var>","<value>");

e.g: setcookie("a","10");
when coding echo $a; give 10

hope that'll help u
