php sending variables

Hello, im having a bit of trouble, i have several variables on my page that were sent by a form. I want to send these same variables onto the next page, but i dont know how. I have created a 'confirm' button whos action loads the next page, but how can i POST these variables to the page when the confirm button is clicked? i have only ever used POST when sending from a form to another page, i just wanna know how to POST variables that arent originating from a form. thanks, i hope some1 understands what im asking

you have several options. You might want to store the values in a cookie then when you reach the other page clear the cookie. or more simply you can use hidden fields on the second page to pass on information from the first page onto the third page. There should be other ways of doing this.

i don't know if it is necessary that you use 3 pages but if i was doing it i would probably merge the last two pages and just use an if statement to separate the two.

Hint: if you post some codes i and more people would be willing to help.

No, he is asking how to pass variable values without using a form. You got to have a form to have hidden fields.

You have few options. eg: Query string, Sessions, Cookies
I recommened to use query string method. You can appened your variable values to URL something like this:
http://yourdomian.com/index.php?name=Mike

Then you can write this simple php code to grab value of name variable:

Hello again

Sessions are both easy and hard to handle

Sessions are easy to code

they are not that hard to handle just ensure that you use session_start(); at the begining of the pages. then all you have to do is call on them.
