you need to pass it to the file - in the URL or start a session - call it form a db theres 100's of ways of calling a value.
Im not sure what exactly u mean?

say the value was $value

make the link to the next page nextpage.php?value=$value

then on the next page, you can get the variable

HTTP_GET_VARS[value]

This is a quick and dirty way to do it - capty99 prob. has a good way

you dont even need "HTTP_GET_VARS[value]" in most cases..

'$value' will already be registered if it's in the domain.

so, without using 'HTTP_GET_VARS[value]' you could write


if($value !="pie"){ }

alternatively you could post it with a form, which would hide the value.

not much point unless you want to hide the value though...

the way I do this is to put the variable in the code

CODE
$id="18";
include('whatever.php');


then when you include the whatever.php it has the id variable set to whatever you want smile.gif
