sorry maybe I did explain it not good enough. The problem is that if a user has entered data in form 2 goes back to form 1 and forward to form 2 again, the data he entered once in form 2 is lost. And I do not find a way how the get the data out of form 2 because the back button is placed in form 3 (same site as form2 ) to allow a different action since we have to link to another site then in form 2.
sounds confusing? I know but I hope I explained it ok Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alberto Serra" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: php.general Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, July 07, 2002 1:21 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] transporting variable via post to another site > Привет! > > andy wrote: > > Everything works fine exept of error handling.
