If you don't want data displayed in the address bar, use "method=POST" in your form tag.

If you want to preserve data from one form to another, you have many options. Here's two:

1. When the CGI that parses the first page produces the HTML that is the second page, have it include the data in "type=hidden" form fields.

2. Use session variables. ______________________________________________________________________

I knew about the &quot;method=post&quot; thing... But I ment just a variable not a <form> variable.

I'l give the session thing a try... Any good tutorials on sessions? __________________

This thread nearly has a tutorial on Sessions in PHP:

This article is also good:

You'll want to read up on PHPs new session stuff (as of 4.1.0):
