use post or get variables and pass them to the other page.

 

Ok, it will be so simple. How do you redirect the page, using header function, or javascript ?

regards

 

PHP:

die ( header( 'Location: [the url]?[get vars]' ) );

 

I redirect using header

 

Dan has already posted what I was to tell you. Besides here is exact code that you shall use.

Now in your your_script.php

if(isset($_GET['msg'])) {
    print htmlspecialchars($_GET['msg']); //print message
}

PHP:

I hope it helps.

 

As others have said you can use the query line aspect of the URL in order to pass information from one page to another. Sessions are also a viable way of accomplishing this.

Personally I would not transfer the entire error message but rather a number pertaining to an error. You could use a switch statement or construct an array mapping numbers to their relevant messages to do this.

 

it is better to use header() to redirect because if somebody hits back then it wont go back after registration.
BTW if you want registration script, download free from www.php-login-script.com
