I have also attempted taking everything possible out of the php echo function and just putting it in regular html but that did not help, and like I say i have taken out all the session variables to make it the simplest code possible....stilll the same issue. This is the last kink in a month month long project which can connect all my pages, so if there is ANY way to do this i'm not looking at I'll take it (or if you see what's wrong with the way I'm doing it).

So I am kind of surprised that this is such a big issue and that no one has ever run into this problem before. I just would have expected that taking a variable from a POST on a previous page and using it to display information, then creating a new POST variable based on feedback from that page would be very common. If no one knows how to do that, then how else would I be able to use a variable to display information on the top of a page then get feedback on the bottom of a page???

no I'm not trying to have the result from the first form influence the result for the second form at all. The variable the page receives simply will be used to print a table up above, and then I want the bottom form to be completely independent of the top form, but somehow they are still effected with the code used, I am have simplified the codes greatly and the problem still exists where you cannot have a page receive and send a variable. Here is the simplified codes (of all 3 pages, that show the problem). test.php, passes along variable hello to test2.php <?php echo "<html>"; echo "<form name='hello' method='POST' action='test2.php'>"; echo "Hello Variable <input name='hello'>"; echo "<input type='submit' name='name'>"; echo "</form>"; echo "</html>"; ?> test2.php, this should accept the variable from test.php and then have a completely new form to pass on to classeditpage.php <?php $status = $_POST['hello']; echo "$status"; echo '<form name="form" method="POST" action="editclasspage.php">'; echo '<input type= "text" name="hello">'; echo '<input type="submit" value="Edit Entry">'; echo '</form>'; echo '</html>'; ?> classeditpage.php this should just take the text variable from test2.php and display it, it only it does not work when test2.php takes the variable from test.php. If i loadup test2.php without it getting the variable from test.php, then it CAN pass the variable on to this last page classeditpage.php <?php session_start(); if (!$_SESSION['valid_user']) { $_SESSION['attempt']=1; Header("Location:index.php"); } $status = $_POST['hello']; echo "$status"; ?> <html> <br> <br> <a href="http://www.cashforcritique.com/members.php">Back to Members Page</a> </html> and the session is definitely not the issue because I just tried it without that, and the variable does exist in sesion (all the other pages with the session check work). Just to be clear that isn't the issue

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but if you're asking which variable I cannot find in the new page, it's the "hello" input from the following form echo '<form name="form" method="POST" action="editclasspage.php">'; echo '<input name="hello">'; echo '<input type="submit" name="edit" value="Edit Entry">'; echo '</form>'; Whenever I type something in, it only works if I loaded the page without giving it a $_POST variable from the previous page. If it has that $_POST variable at the top, then it can't pass on the new variable. If that wasn't your question I'm sorry, please clarify it and I'll do the best I can to answer it.

So basically I have a page where I am receiving a post variable to use to bring up database information but then lower on the page, I have another form using the post method to go to another handling page. The problem is, that when the first page receives the post variable from the page before it, then it cannot pass on the post variable in the form at the bottom of the page. I know the recieving the post variable on the same page as putting out a new one is the problem because whenever I load the page without giving it the post variable, even though some parts of the page screw up, the form at the bottom can pass on the POST variable. Is there any reason you cannot recieve a POST variable and send a new one on the same php page??? Here is a diagram of the flow: -previouspage.php (passes POST variable on to mainpage.php) -mainpage.php (page where the problem occurs, takes the POST variable from previouspage.php and uses it to pull up database information, then has another form at the bottom which sends a new POST variable to lastpage.php) -lastpage.php (DOES NOT take the POST variable from mainpage.php unless mainpage.php did not take the POST variable from previouspage.php) Thank you for your help in advance. Here is the code: php session_start(); if (!$_SESSION['valid_user']) { $_SESSION['attempt']=1; Header("Location:index.php"); } require_once 'database.php'; $dbname = "TextbookInfo"; @mysql_select_db($dbname) or die('Database does not exist'); $user = $_SESSION['valid_user']; $classnum = $_POST['class']; $query= "SELECT class, bookname, isbn, requirement, notes FROM textbookinfo WHERE classnum='$classnum'"; $result = mysql_query($query); mysql_close(); $rows = @mysql_num_rows($result); $class = mysql_result($result, 0, "class"); echo "Books Assigned for $class<br><br>"; echo '<html>'; echo '<form name="form" method="POST" action="editclasspage.php">'; echo '<input name="hello">'; echo '<input type="submit" name="edit" value="Edit Entry">'; echo '</form>'; echo '</html>'; echo "<br><b>Links</b><br>"; echo '<a href="members.php">Back To Member\'s Homepage</a>'; ?> And just to be clear, the variable i can't get to come through to editclasspage.php is the hello variable from the second form.

Ok so i am talking about the second form, the one with the hello variable. But the problem isn't that I need to keep the $_POST['class'] variable around and bring it to the next form. The problem, is that whatever I type into the text field hello (from that form) is not passed on to editclasspage.php when the page recieves $_POST['class'], even though they seem to be completely independent. However if I load the page up stand alone without it receiving the the $_POST['class'] variable then the hello variable DOES send to editclasspage.php as expected.
