Thank you all for the help.
I did not want to use dropdown box..that was the very reason i was
wondering if I can pass the variables through a hyperlink. I used $_GET
and it worked fine. However, as mentioned in the posts its not advisable
to use $_REQUEST. Could you please elaborate on the reason?
This brings me to another question....
I have registered a variable as a session variable so that I can use it on
any page during that session. HOwever, this was not working when I first
tried it. I read somewhere that I need to enable register_globals. On
doing so, it worked and I could access my session variable on any other
page. Is this wrong? Is there an alternative? Please suggest.
