because if i wan't variable to be used in all the pages , i'll had to create a hidden field in each page contains the same value and the same name.

but this method is suck !!


so if any one know any way please tell me

Sessions or cookies seem like a good alternitive.

I think sessions would be the best answer to your problem like Eclipse said ,

All you need to do is place a

PHP Code:

<?php
session_start();
?>

at the very top fo your page before any data is sent out to your browser or you'll get some nasty errors then just register your variable.

Registering the Session:

PHP Code:

<?php
session_register('variable');
$_SESSION['variable'] = $foo
?>

and now wherever there is a page with sessions started you can use "$_SESSION['variable']" all over your page ^_^

i think sessions will not be good , it isn't flexible at all !
because i'll start sessions every time i want to register a variable when the opreation ends i'll had to close it

it will be hard to me comparing with the method post as example !

thanks

well.. i personally think that sessions are the best solution for saveing variables for multiple pages.. but if you dont want to use them then.. well leaves you with cookies. a page that might be usefull:

you can also use the include() function, here is a example

every page where you need the variables:

PHP Code:

include_once ("./settings.php");



$dbh = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password) 

    or die("Unable to connect to MySQL");





$selected = mysql_select_db($base,$dbh) 

    or die("Could not select database"); 

settings.php:

PHP Code:

<?

# Root MySQL database

$base = "xxx";

# MySQL user name

$username = "xxx"; 

# MySQL password

$password = "xxx";

# Host name (ex. localhost)

$hostname = "xxx";

# Main Table name (ex. mysite)

$basesites= "xxx";

?>
