  1. Since the data is an actual PHP data structure, URL parameter passing is out.  The page that's doing the processing is pure PHP without any HTML output, which then sends it's result to another page (conditionally).  In that case, hidden form field passing also is out.  What's the difference between cookies and sessions?  Coming from a Java Servlet background, I've been led to believe that cookies are just what's used to keep track of sessions. [quote]you can also post it from page to page...[/quote] I am not quite sure what you mean.  When I have my processing page redirect to my presentation page, I thought all data stored in $_POST is lost?
  2. Just off the top of my head I want to ask what exactly you mean by "it doesn't work".  Do you mean the table isn't being updated? Couple debugging tips: 1.) Print your queiries out so you can see what is being sent to your DB 2.) Make sure all the mysql_query calls that do updates return TRUE. If not, make use of the mysql_error function.
  3. I am not really familiar with media-convert.com, but I have made a page before where users can submit video clips and my site converts them into Windows Media.  I don't think you can do this using just a PHP script.  Our solution was to have the server run an encoder program in the background.
  4. For those familar with JSP or Java Servlets. there is a way to bind an object to an HTTPRequest using setAttribute and then forward this request to another page (most often used when you have separate pages for data processing and data presentation).  I was wondering if there was an equivalent to this in PHP.  So far, the only thing I've found that keeps data across different pages is sessions.  I am fairly familiar with using sessions, and I know specifically that I do not want to use them in this case.
