pass variable

[Anon]

Hi,

I have a page that is accessed by a login. In this page you can join different groups by hitting a join button. When this join button is hit, it goes to a .php file which updates the database and then I want it to automatically go back to the previous page. Currently I use this:

echo("<script>parent.location = 'cfmlogin.php'</script>");

but obviously the username and password aren't being sent back to the page. Does anyone know how I can do this, using my current method of parent scripting?

Thanks

try out like with this -

echo("<script>parent.location = 'cfmlogin.php?un=$un&pass=$pass'</script>");

Passing the password on the query string is not the best idea in the world. why not set it as a cookie (encrypted) or session var, or, why do you need the password anyway if the person has already successfully verified?? (just a thought). Anyway, you could any of the above then header("Location:cfmlogin.php?un=$un.....");

And lso he can done this by using form as hidden value. What u think?

Sure, but again, my recommendation above is still the best solution.
