What about storing the post dat into SESSION?

Placebo

thanks louie, wanted to avoid sessions...

louie

You can avoid the second page and whatever you were going to do there do it on this page while you have the POST data in variables/array.

Placebo

thanks louie, but i need second page , i just try break down bits of code for testing sometimes so i know whats not working properly.

You could serialize() the array and post that to the second page. Did this recently in a script and noticed I had to base64_encode() the serialized array before passing it to the second script and then base64_decode() the unserialized data to use it. It avoids use session data if that's what you want.
