Passing a variable between 3 pages

    Hello!

    Here is my situation.

    I have 3 page. The first page is only a dropdown menu Where the user chooses a value. The next page does some processing, and the final page does some more processing. That final page needs that chosen variable from the first page...how can i grab that?

    I know how to pass variables between 2 pages,..but not 3...i hope this can be done without sessions.

    -Thanks!!

    use the <input type=hidden> tag ;)
    From page 1 , grab the variable using $_POST
    ex in page 2 :
    $something = $_POST['value'];
    In the form area of page 2 , add this
    <input type= hidden name=blah value = <? echo $something ?> >
    That way , in page 3 , you have the variable
    $something2 = $_POST['blah'] ;
    hope you'll get an idea about how it works ;)
    Good luck.
