It's against forum guidelines to post the same or similar items more than once in these forums. So, I've closed your other post found here:

http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=43715

 

Please read our various forum guidelines.

 

I also deleted your other post where you had:

ho do i do a varibal plz help i forgot

???

 

thanks

 

Which doesn't make any sense by iteself of exactly what you mean. I assume it's regarding this post where you specify $_GET['WHAT DO I PUT HERE'].

 

If you have PHP version 4.1.0 or higher then use $_SESSION variable instead of session_register() which requires that register_globas be turned on.

 

Click on the PHP F.A.Q. link below:

http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?...=0entry110865

 

Look for the $_GET Variables section to learn more.

 

Read the PHP session tutorial at http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/41/0.php but ignore any reference to session_register().

You should have let people know that you're using dreamweaver. I've moved your post to this more suitable topic area.

 

I don't know anything about it. Why don't you just try the various options. It doesn't look that hard. I also don't know whether you're talking about get variable or session variables.

 

Please note I've update my previous post to inlcude links to stuff for you to read and learn from.
