<?php
 /*...
    ... Some Code to get the value of UserID ...
    ...*/
?>
</body>
</html>
    PHP:
    I want to save the value of UserID to reuse it again and post it to each page in each of div(s) again which is going to a different pages. :chomp:

    By the way I did the following 

    echo '<input type="hidden" value="'.$userID.'" name="userID">';
    PHP:
    and I don't know how to use and I don't know if this way is true of not?

    Is it possible and how to do that?

    Thank You in advance

    Two involve cookies and the third is using a PHP session. I suggest I pickup a PHP book as this is a very basic question.

    JavaScript Cookie:
    http://www.w3schools.com/JS/js_cookies.asp

    PHP Cookie:
    http://php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php

    PHP Session:
    http://php.net/manual/en/features.sessions.php

    I'll give you an example of a php cookie.

    
setcookie('user_id', $the_user_id_here, time()+3600);
    Code (markup):
    You can access this cookie this way:
    
$_COOKIE['user_id'];
    Code (markup):

    I have something like:

    <table>
	 <tr>
     <td><input type="checkbox" name="day[]" value="Saturday" />Satur</td>
	 
     <td><input type="checkbox" name="day[]" value="Sunday" />Sun</td>
     
     <td><input type="checkbox" name="day[]" value="Monday" />Mon</td>
     
     <td><input type="checkbox" name="day[]" value="Tuesday" />Tues</td>
    
     <td><input type="checkbox" name="day[]" value="Wednesday" />Wednes</td>
     
     <td><input type="checkbox" name="day[]" value="Thursday" />Thurs</td>
     
     <td><input type="checkbox" name="day[]" value="Friday" />Fri</td>
	 </tr>
	 </table>
    PHP:
    and I want to save day[] in a session and reuse it again how can I do that?

    Thank you in advance
