Firstly thank you so much Crayon Violent & ManiacDan for taking the time to answer.
From what you said I have about 1000 more questions... I'll try to reign them into a couple.
1. I presume (know) the log in script I am using starts a session - can you start 2 sessions?
For the other 999 questions I think it's better I show you what I already have and point out where it fails.
I start with this (only on the home page):
session_start();
$_SESSION['wishlist'] = $_POST['wishlist'];
on all pages.
$wishlist = $_SESSION['wishlist'];
echo $wishlist;
The problem with above is... the variable $wishlist passes to all the other pages but does not pass back to the home page - also you can not post to the other pages, also it is a single variable and I need it as an array.
I have an agency site, when you log in as a client you are given an extra option (a form) which posts the username (of the current page) dancer to it's SELF - what I am trying to do is collect all the names as an array and display them on a page where the client can then submit it to the casting team.
Crayon Violent if you could expand on your array example, explaining how to create an array from a set of post results.
PS. If you want to see what I already have (maybe it will make more sense than my ramblings) go to pirouette-dance-agency.co.uk the submit buttons under 'news' is what I have so far.
Lee.
