RE: [PHP] Re: Passing Variables

[Jay Fitzgerald]

That was my thought too, George. But if the user does not have cookies 
enabled, then I believe, as Thomas pointed out, that a SESSION is the only 
way to handle the variables. I have never done a "correct" session so I am 
trying to learn how to do them without having a userid and password for 
each user. I have played with sessions but I don't know if I am doing them 
correctly or how to do sessions without authentication.

Nabil,

That is one way but it means that Jay would have to use a form and not a
link.
You could set a cookie. That would work, but it relies on the user allowing
cookies.
