Is there a session_start() on the second page ?
Also i didnt know u could set an action to a jscript popup, it may not be
posting to the second page. What you could try is posting to the second
page like a normal post, u need to do something like
session_start();
$_SESSION['startdate'] = $_POST['startdate'];
$_SESSION['stopdate'] = $_POST['stopdate'];
in the second page
u only need this if u are then redirecting to yet another page
else just do a
> <h1 align="center"><strong>Reports received between <?php echo
> "".$_POST['startdate'].""; ?> and <?php echo "$_POST['stopdate']"; ?
>:</strong></h1>
something like that
