Please Help, I'm trying to send a variable called zipcode from page 1 to page two and then to page three. I can get it to go from page 1 to page 2, but it will not transfer to page three. I have included my source. My option values go from page to page with no problem, but once again, trying to get a variable to go from page 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 ect. Can anyone please help me with this. I have included my source code below. Thanks

<?php session_start(); ?>

<form action="page2.php" method="post">

Look into '$_GET[]' You could transfer it by the action from the form.

Sorry, but am new at this and I have tried the $_GET['zipcode'] command but no luck. I'm sure I'm just not using the right syntax. Could you please provide me with an example. Thank you, and thanks for responding so quickly.

Your code is not so clear, for example in page three:

 
$_SESSION['option'] = $_POST['option'];
$_SESSION['zipcode'] = $_POST['zipcode'];

echo $_POST['option'];

echo $_POST['zipcode'];

You are overwriting whatever zipcode was in session with a non-existant zipcode from $_POST, and then you are echoing a non-existant zipcode from post, why not just work with sessions? Remember $_POST only works once on the page it was submitted to, it does not persist in other pages, only sessions do.

Thank you for pointing that out. Let's see if I can figure it out from here. Thanks for your reply.
