Hi every one >>

i have this problem that's been bothering me and here it is :

how can i pass a variable used in one file to another file ...
eg .
in the file hello.php i have a variable called $Bold and it equals true
and what i want to do is open another file called welcome.php and test the value of $Bold ! yes its that simple ! but how can i do it ?

thanks a lot every one >>>

many ways to do that!
you can use sessions, cookies, get or post variables!

you can pass the value of $Bold in URL like:
welcome.php?Bold=true
and then access it with:
$_GET['Bold']

or you can post it in a form and retraive it with:
$_POST['Bold']

to use sessions, you have to start your session with session_start() and set the value of the session with:
$_SESSION['Bold'] = 'true';
and retraive it with:
$_SESSION['Bold']

finaly cookies. to set a cookie use:
setcookie('Bold', "true", time()+3600);

to retraive it use:
$_COOKIE['Bold']

well i tried the $_Session way scince its the most convenient way to do what i am trying to do but it didn't work !

here is my code :

i have the file input.php inside of it i included the file formcode.php

so the value of bold gets set in the file formcode.php and gets tested in the file input.php but the result is null ! the bold doesn't contain a value at all !

what is wrong ?

thanx again >>>

u need to put 'session_start();' at the very beginning of the code!
